the gearshift is not in the "N" (Neutral) position, the
allshift indicator display will behave as follows to indicate
that the engine will not start.
• Gearshift in "S" (Stand by) position: An "A" or "1" will
flash several times.
• Gearshift in "R" (reverse) position: An "R" will flash
several times.
