select lever from the “N” to “R” position is
only possible by depressing the brake
pedal. For details, refer to “Shift lock

Other information:
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag are designed as follows:
To deploy in the event of an accident
involving a moderate to severe side impact
collision
To function on a one-time-only basis
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag are not designed to deploy in the
following cases:
In most lesser side impacts
In most frontal or most rear impacts
(because the SRS side airbag and SRS
curtain airbag deployment would not protect
the occupant in those situations)
The SRS curtain airbags are also designed
to deploy when the vehicle is in an
extremely inclined state such as during a
rollover...
