NOTE
If the gears cannot be shifted down
when driving at higher speeds, the
gear position indication will fl ash
twice to signal that the gears cannot
be shifted down (to protect the
transaxle).
If the automatic transaxle fl uid
(ATF) temperature becomes too
high, there is the possibility that the
transaxle will switch to automatic
shift mode, cancelling manual
shift mode and turning off the gear
position indication illumination.
This is a normal function to protect
the AT. After the ATF temperature
has decreased, the gear position
indication illumination turns back on
and driving in manual shift mode is
restored.
