M1231202900298

1. Put on the parking brake.
2. Move the selector lever to every range and check that the 

lever moves smoothly with secure feel of engagement.

3. Make sure that the engine starts when the selector lever is in 

the N or P range, and does not start when the selector lever 
is in other range.

4. Start the engine. Release the parking brake.
5. Make sure that the vehicle moves forward when the selector 

lever is moved from the N range to D range, or to the 1st to 
6th speed in the sports mode. Also make sure that the 
vehicle moves backward when the selector lever is moved 
from the N to R range.

6. Stop the engine.
7. Turn ON the ignition switch, and move the selector lever 

from the P to R range. Check that the backup lamp comes 
on and the tone alarm sounds at this time.
NOTE: Since the vehicle is equipped with the CVT 
wrong-operation preventive device, the selector lever cannot 
be moved out of the P position without depressing the brake 
pedal after turning ON the ignition switch.
