mately 6 mph (10 km/h). Once operation-
al, it prevents the selector lever from being
moved from the "N" position to the "R" po-
sition. When the vehicle speed drops be-
low 6 mph (10 km/h), the function is can-
celed. The selector lever can then be
moved to the "R" and "P" positions.
When the ignition switch has been turned
to the "OFF" position, movement of the se-
lector lever from the "N" position to the "R"
position is possible for a limited time peri-
od and then becomes impossible. Also,
the selector lever cannot be moved to the
"R" position when it has been placed in the
"P" position and then placed again in the
"N" position. When movement of the se-
lector lever from the "N" position to the "R"
position has become impossible, turn the
ignition switch back to the "ON" position
then move the selector lever to the "P" po-
sition. Pressing the selector lever release
button also makes it possible to move the
selector lever to the "P" position at this
time.

release" section in this chapter, remove
the shift lock release cover. Then, with the
screwdriver inserted into the hole, move
the selector lever to the "P" position. If the
