Instrument Cluster Messages
Messages will be displayed in the instrument cluster to alert the driver when certain unusual conditions occur. These messages are described below.
MESSAGE DESCRIPTION
PRESS BRAKE AND PUSH BUTTON TO SHIFT INTO GEAR
The transmission is locked in NEUTRAL to avoid any accidental
movement of the gear selector. This occurs after two seconds with the
vehicle stopped and the brake pedal released. To move the gear selector
again, press the brake pedal.
SHIFT TO PARK TO OBTAIN DRIVABILITY
The gear selector is being moved without the brake pedal pressed while
locked in PARK or NEUTRAL. The transmission will ignore the attempt to
move the selector and stay in NEUTRAL, and display this message.
GEAR NOT AVAILABLE
In AutoStick mode, the gear selected by the driver is not available due to
a fault condition. See an authorized dealer for diagnosis and service.
SHIFT NOT ALLOWED
The gear position requested by the driver is currently blocked. This occurs
if: REVERSE is requested while moving (at 6 mph [10 km/h] or faster), if
DRIVE is requested while moving backwards (at 6 mph [10 km/h] or
faster), or if (in AutoStick mode) THIRD gear or higher is requested at a
stop, or a requested shift would cause engine lugging or overspeed.
Make sure the vehicle is stopped before engaging DRIVE or REVERSE.
