Starting and driving
NOTE
l
To avoid erroneous operation, move the se-
lector lever firmly into each position and brief-
ly hold it there. Always check the position
shown by the selector lever position indica-
tion lamp after moving the selector lever.
l If the brake pedal is not depressed and held,
the shift-lock device activates to prevent the
selector lever from being moved from the
"P" (PARK) position.
l
For a shift indicated by in the illustration,
depress the brake pedal before moving the se-
lector lever. If you attempt to move the selec-
tor lever before depressing the brake pedal,
the selector lever may become immovable.

A- Selector lever position indication lamps
When the ignition switch is turned to the
"ON" position, the indication lamps in the
instrument panel illuminate to show the po-
sition of the selector lever (i.e. "PARK",
"DRIVE", "REVERSE", etc.).
B- "N" indication lamp
When the "N" indication lamp blinks with
the "D" (DRIVE) position or "Sports
mode" being selected, the A/T may be mal-
functioning.
CAUTION
l
If a malfunction occurs in the A/T while
driving, the "N" indication lamp will blink.
In this case, immediately park your vehi-
cle in a safe place and follow these proce-
dures:
(The "N" indication lamp warning func-
tion does not operate with the selector lev-
er in the "P" (PARK), "R" (REVERSE)
or "N" (NEUTRAL) position.)
[The "N" indication lamp blinks rapidly
(twice per second)]
The automatic transmission fluid is over-
heating.
Park your vehicle in a safe place but do
not turn off the engine. Move the selector
lever to the "P" (PARK) position and
open the bonnet. Keep the engine idling.
After a while, move the selector lever to
the "D" (DRIVE) position and confirm
that the "N" indication lamp stops blink-
ing. It is safe to continue driving if the
"N" indication lamp no longer is no lon-
ger blinking.
If the "N" indication lamp continues blink-
ing or blinks intermittently, we recom-
mend you to have your vehicle inspected.
[The "N" indication lamp blinks slowly
(once per second)]
The A/T safety device may be operating
due to a malfunction.
We recommend you to have your vehicle
inspected as soon as possible.
