Shift Lever Position Indicators

These indicators on the instrument
panel show which position the shift
lever is in.
The ''D'' indicator comes on for a
few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position. If it flashes while driving (in
any shift position), it indicates a
possible problem in the transmission.

If the malfunction indicator lamp
comes on along with the ''D''
indicator, there is a problem in the
automatic transmission control
system. Avoid rapid acceleration, and
have the transmission checked by
your dealer as soon as possible.
On Touring models
When the ''D'' indicator warns of a
possible problem with the
transmission, you will see a ''CHECK
TRANSMISSION'' message on the
multi-information display (see page
88 ).
