When the selector lever position
display blinks
WARNING
l
To avoid unintended vehicle movement,
keep the brake pedal applied with your
right foot and do not depress the accelera-
tor pedal, while the selector lever position
display is blinking.
If the ambient temperature is low, the selector
lever position display on the multi-informa-
tion display may blink when the selector lev-
er 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.
