The transmission shift lever is located of your unit just below and ahead to the seat. The shifter has a three position notched locator plate indicating transmission gear selections of “F”, “N” and “R”

“N” = Neutral
“R” = Reverse
The position of the transmission gears is also indicated on the digital console directly below the digital readout display. It contains the same three indicators of “F”, “N”, and “R”.
To start your engine, both the shift selector lever and the shift indicator lamp on the console must be in the “N”, neutral, position.
