& Shift lock function
The shift lock function helps prevent the
improper operation of the select lever.
. The select lever cannot be operated
unless the ignition switch is turned to
the "ON" position and the brake pedal is
depressed.
. The select lever cannot be moved from
the "P" position to any other position
before the brake pedal is depressed.
Depress the brake pedal first, and then
operate the select lever.
. Only the "P" position allows you to turn
the ignition switch from the "ACC"
position to the "LOCK"/"OFF" position
and remove the key from the ignition
switch.
. If the ignition switch is turned to the
"ACC" position while the select lever is
in the "N" position, the select lever may
not be moved to the "P" position without
depressing the brake pedal and press-
ing the select lever button.
