If the ambient temperature is low, the selector
lever position display on the multi informa-
tion display may blink when the selector
lever is placed in the "D" (DRIVE), "Ds"
(DOWNSHIFT & SPORTY DRIVING), "L"
(LOW) or "R" (REVERSE) position immedi-
ately after the engine has been started. This
indicates that the transmission requires warm-
ing up. While the display is blinking, the
vehicle will not move, because the transmis-
sion keeps disengaging until the warm up is
completed even if the selector lever is placed
in the "D", "Ds", "L" or "R" position.
When the selector lever position display is
blinking, perform the following procedure:
1. Depress the brake pedal with your right
foot and place the selector lever in the
"N" (NEUTRAL) position for several
seconds.
2. Keep depressing the brake pedal and then
place the selector lever in the "D"
(DRIVE), "Ds" (DOWNSHIFT
SPORTY DRIVING), "L" (LOW) or "R"
(REVERSE) position. If the selector lever
position display stops blinking, the warm
up is completed and the transmission will
function normally.
3. If the display is still blinking, repeat steps
1 and 2 above.
NOTE
 While the selector lever position display is
blinking, a buzzer will sound intermittently.
