Selector Lever Operation Check

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Operate 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 lever.
  5. Make sure that the vehicle moves forward when the selector lever is moved to "D" range, "Ds" range or to the "L" range. 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 the ignition switch to "ON" position, and move the selector lever from the "P" to "R" range. Check that the backup light 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 the ignition switch "ON" position.
