Before starting, make sure the gear
position indicator in the upper
display shows you that the
transmission is shifted properly.
If the gear position indicator blinks,
the transmission cannot be shifted.
Return the shift lever to neutral,
pause, then move it again while
pressing the brake pedal.

When you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position, the segment

charged or goes dead, you must
move the shift lever to neutral and
press on the brake pedal for about 3
seconds to show the shift lever
position after reconnecting the
battery or jump starting.
