Indications

1. Manual shift mode indication

2. Gear position indication

Manual shift mode indication

In manual shift mode, the “M” of the

shift position indication in the

instrument panel illuminates.

Gear position indication

The numeral for the selected gear

illuminates.

NOTE



If the gears cannot be shifted down

when driving at higher speeds, the

gear position indication will 

fl

ash

twice to signal that the gears cannot

be shifted down (to protect the

transmission).



If the automatic transmission 

fl

uid

(ATF) temperature becomes too

high, there is the possibility that the

transmission will switch to automatic

shift mode, canceling manual shift

mode and turning o

ff

 the gear

position indication illumination. This

is a normal function to protect the

AT. After the ATF temperature has

decreased, the gear position

indication illumination turns back on

and driving in manual shift mode is

restored.
