Shift Lever Position Indicator
This indicator on the instrument
panel shows which position the shift
lever is in.
The ''D'' indicator comes on for a
few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch ON (II). If it flashes
while driving (in any shift position),
it indicates a possible problem in the

ation and have the transmission
