SHIFT LEVER OPERATION CHECK

M1225008400016

1. Check that the engine starts when the shift lever is in the N 

or P range, and that the engine does not start in other 
ranges.

2. Start the engine, and release the parking brake. Then, check 

that the vehicle travels forward when the shift lever is in the 
D range or the mode is set to the sport mode, and that the 
vehicle travels backward when the shift lever is set in the R 
range.

3. Stop the engine.
4. Turn ON the ignition switch, and move the shift lever from 

the P to R range. Check that the back-up light becomes on 
and the tone alarm sounds at this time.
NOTE: Because the misoperation preventive device is 
equipped, the shift lever cannot be moved out of the P posi-
tion unless the ignition switch is turned to the position other 
than LOCK (OFF) and the brake pedal is depressed.
