•► Turn the SmartKey to position 2 in the ignition lock.

•► Shift the automatic transmission to position N.

As soon as the vehicle is loaded:

•► Shift the automatic transmission to position P.

•► Turn the SmartKey to position 0 in the ignition lock and remove the SmartKey from the ignition lock.
