For the shift positions

When the power switch is off, the shift position cannot be changed.

When the power switch is in ON mode (the hybrid system is not operating), the
shift position can only be changed to N. The shift position will be changed to N
even if the shift lever is shifted to D or R and held in that position.

When the "READY" indicator is on, the shift position can be changed from P to
D, N or R.

When the "READY" indicator is flashing, the shift position cannot be changed
from P to another position even if the shift lever is operated. Wait until the
"READY" indicator changes from a flashing to a solid light, and then operate
the shift lever again.

The shift position can only be changed to B directly from D.
In addition, if an attempt is made to change the shift position by moving the shift
lever or by pressing the P position switch in any of the following situations, the
buzzer will sound and the shifting operation will be disabled or the shift position
will automatically change to N. When this happens, select an appropriate shift
position.

Situations where the shifting operation will be disabled:
• When an attempt is made to change the shift position from P to another posi-
tion by moving the shift lever without depressing the brake pedal.
• When an attempt is made to change the shift position from P or N to B by
moving the shift lever.

Situations where the shift position will automatically change to N:
• When the P position switch is pressed while the vehicle is running.

when the vehicle is moving forward.
