Taking Care of the Unexpected
230
If the Transmission Is Not
Functioning Properly
If “-” continues to blink:
Change the gear position by using the gear change tool, and tighten
the emergency valve. Perform the following procedure.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF (
w
) position to stop the
engine.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON (
q
) position. Do not turn it to
the START (
p
) position.
3. Take out the gear change tool from the storage compartment
(page 127).
4. Put the gear change tool on the spindle which is located on the
crankcase.
5. To downshift, turn the gear change tool counterclockwise. To
upshift, turn the gear change tool clockwise. When you upshift
one position from the lowest downshift position, “E” blinks in
the gear position indicator.
If you cannot shift properly, shift the shift select lever to the high-
range (H) position, and while pushing the gear change tool in the
direction you want to rotate, rock the vehicle back and forth. When
the transmission shifts, return the shift select lever to the park (P)
position.
