If the ambient temperature is low, the selec-
tor lever position display on the multi-infor-
mation display may blink when the selector
lever is placed in the “D” (DRIVE), “Ds”
(DOWNSHIFT & SPORTY DRIVING), “L”
(LOW) or “R” (REVERSE) position immedi-
ately after the engine has been started. This
indicates that the transmission requires
warming up.
While the display is blinking, the vehicle will
not move, because the transmission keeps
disengaging until the warm up is completed
even if the selector lever is placed in the “D”,
“Ds”, “L” or “R” position.
When the selector lever position display is
blinking, perform the following procedure:
1. Depress the brake pedal with your right
foot and place the selector lever in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position for several
seconds.
2. Keep depressing the brake pedal and
then place the selector lever in the “D”
(DRIVE), “Ds” (DOWNSHIFT &
SPORTY DRIVING), “L” (LOW) or
“R” (REVERSE) position. If the selector
lever position display stops blinking, the
warm-up is completed and the transmis-
sion will function normally.
3. If the display is still blinking, repeat
steps 1 and 2 above.
NOTE
l
While the selector lever position display is
blinking, a buzzer will sound intermittently.
Selector lever positions
E00602401624
“P” PARK
This position locks the transmission to pre-
vent the vehicle from moving. The engine
can be started in this position.
“R” REVERSE
This position is to back up.
CAUTION
l Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in
motion to avoid transmission damage.
“N” NEUTRAL
At this position the transmission is disengag-
ed. It is the same as the neutral position on a
manual transmission, and should only be
used when the vehicle is stationary for an ex-
tended length of time during driving, such as
in a traffic jam.
WARNING
l
Never move the selector lever to the “N”
(Neutral) position while driving. A serious
accident could occur since you could acci-
dentally move the lever into the “P”
(Park) or “R” (Reverse) position or you
will lose engine braking.
l On a gradient the engine should be star-
ted in the “P” (Park) position, not in the
“N” (Neutral) position.
l To prevent rolling, always keep your foot
on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in
“N” (Neutral) position, or when shifting
into or out of “N” (Neutral) position.
“D” DRIVE
This position is used for most city and high-
way driving. The transmission will automati-
cally and continuously change its gear radio
depending on road and driving conditions.
CAUTION
l To prevent transmission damage, never shift
into the “D” (Drive) position from the “R”
(Reverse) position while the vehicle is in
motion.
