Selector Lever Operation Check
- Turn "ON" the ignition switch.
- The parking brake is applied.
- Move the selector lever to every range and check that the lever moves smoothly with secure feel of engagement.
- 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.
- Start the engine. Release the parking brake lever.
- Make sure that the vehicle moves forward when the selector lever is moved to "D" range, or to the 1st to 8th 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.
- Stop the engine.
- Turn "ON" the ignition switch, and move the selector lever from the "P" to "R" range. Check that the backup light comes on at this time.NOTE: Since the vehicle is equipped with the CVT key interlock and shift lock mechanisms, the selector lever cannot be moved out of the "P" position without depressing the brake pedal after turning "ON" the ignition switch.
