Indication

Various Lockouts

Indicates that you must depress the
brake pedal and hold in the lock-re‐
lease button to shift (The ignition
must be switched ON).
Indicates the selector lever can be
shifted freely into any position.
Indicates that you must hold in the
lock-release button to shift.

NOTE

The Sport AT has an option that is not
included in the traditional automatic
transmission that gives the driver the
option of selecting each gear instead of
leaving it to the transmission to shift
gears. Even if you intend to use the
automatic transmission functions as a
traditional automatic, you should also be
aware that you can inadvertently shift into
manual shift mode and an inappropriate
gear may be retained as the vehicle speed
increases. If you notice the engine speed
going higher or hear the engine racing,
confirm you have not accidentally slipped
into manual shift mode (page 4-35
).
