the selector lever in the "S" position with-
out holding down the brake pedal while
the engine is running, a warning buzzer
(long pulse sound) will sound, and the "N"
indicator in the instrument cluster will
flash, and the system will automatically
shift the transmission gear to the neutral
gear position.
If the driver's door is opened with the
selector lever in the "S" position without
depressing the brake pedal, warning buzz-
er (long pulse sound) will also sound. 10
seconds later, the "N" indicator in the in-
strument cluster will also flash, and the

mission gear to the neutral gear position.

brake pedal down or shift the selec-
tor lever to the "N" position. If the

onds while stopping,

sound, and the "N" position indica-
tor in the instrument cluster will

cally shift the transmission gear to
the neutral gear position. If this
happens on a hill, when starting off
the vehicle, the vehicle may move
unexpectedly and cause an acci-
dent.

tended while the engine is running.
