-
cator light will flash continuously until all
requirements are met or until the NEUTRAL
(N) button is released.
The ignition must be in the ON/RUN mode for
a shift to take place and for the position indi

cator lights to be operable. If the ignition is
not in the ON/RUN mode, the shift will not
take place and no position indicator lights will

If the vehicle is equipped with Quadra-Lift air
suspension, the engine should be started
and left running for a minimum of
60 seconds (with all the doors closed) at

allows the air suspension to adjust the
vehicle’s ride height to compensate for
temperature effects.
