The gear selector lever position will be shown in the information display.

Park position

WARNINGS

  • Select Park only when the vehicle is stationary.
  • Before leaving the vehicle, apply the parking brake and select Park.
Make sure the gear selector lever is locked in this position.

Note: If you open the driver's door when Park is not selected, a warning chime will sound.

Note: The battery saver function will switch off the warning buzzer after a period of time.
