Shift lock (automatic transmission)
This vehicle is equipped with shift lock system
to prevent wrong operation of shift lever.
When the shift lever is in the P range, the
shift lever cannot be moved unless the
ignition switch is in the “ON” or “ACC” position
and the brake pedal is depressed.
Also, when the shift lever is not in the P range,
the ignition key cannot be turned from “ON”
or “ACC” to “OFF” or “LOCK” and the ignition
key cannot be removed.
NOTE
• The engine can be started only in P or
N.
• For operation, the shift lever cannot
be moved without depressing the
shift lever button to prevent wrong
manipulations.
Check the indicator to see the present
position of the shift lever.
• On the electronically-controlled
automatic transmission vehicles, when
the temperature of the transmission
fluid is low immediately after the start
of running, an automatic upshift to the
3rd or 4th gear may not take place. When
the temperature of the transmission
fluid has risen, this automatic upshift
will take place.
