The vehicle transmission shift is controlled by buttons to the right of the dashboard. The letters identify power on/off, r, dr. , etc. . The identifying imprints for each shift within a short time are erased, making it impossible to readily identify and engage in the appropriate gear or command. This poses a hazard when approaching a difficult traffic situation, when parking, or a safety issue when the power button is mistakenly turned off, when the reverse button is pressed when you are expecting to engage into drive. It's also important to note that the vehicle safety break is engaged through the transmission posing another safety issue.
