Rotary Dial Shift Modes

Automatic Return to Park

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

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:

The ignition is turned off and vehicle falls below low speed threshold
The driver door is opened with the seat belt unlatched
Unlatching the safety belt while the driver door is open

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. To enter N mode power the vehicle on. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop. Press and hold the brake pedal. Shift into N. Press the L button to stay in neutral mode. Release the brake pedal and switch the vehicle off. 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, press the brake pedal and shift out of neutral.

Return to Park

NOTE: This feature may not work properly if the door ajar switch is malfunctioning.

The vehicle will return to P when any of the following conditions are met:

The vehicle is turned off.
The vehicle is stopped and the driver door is open with the safety belt unlatched.
The vehicle is stopped and the safety belt is unlatched with the driver door opened.

If the vehicle is turned off while moving, the transmission will first shift into N until it comes to a complete stop and then will shift into P automatically.
