Rotary Dial Shift Modes

Automatic Return to Park 

NOTE: This feature does not operate when your vehicle is in Stay In Neutral Mode.

The vehicle has a safety feature that will automatically shift the transmission into P when one of the following conditions are met at low speed:

Stay in Neutral Mode 

If necessary for the vehicle to stay in N without the driver present, such as being pulled through a car wash, this mode disables Return to Park. In Stay in Neutral the system will remain awake draining the battery if the engine is off. When you enter neutral at low speed a message will be displayed stating press the M button to stay in neutral mode. Then, if the driver presses the M button within the time limit, the message Stay in Neutral Mode appears on the multifunction display. During this mode the N position on the GSM flashes continuously and the instrument cluster will display N as the selected gear. To exit the Stay in Neutral Mode, shift out of neutral.
