For the shift positions
■
When the power switch is off, the shift position cannot be changed.
●
When the power switch is in ON mode (the hybrid system is not operating), the shift
●
position can only be changed to N. The shift position will be changed to N even if the
shift lever is shifted to D or R and held in that position.
When the "READY" indicator is on, the shift position can be changed from P to D, N or
●
R.
When the "READY" indicator is flashing, the shift position cannot be changed from P to
●
another position even if the shift lever is operated. Wait until the "READY" indicator
changes from a flashing to a solid light, and then operate the shift lever again.
The shift position can only be changed to B directly from D.
●
In addition, if an attempt is made to change the shift position by moving the shift lever or
by pressing the P position switch in any of the following situations, the buzzer will sound
and the shifting operation will be disabled or the shift position will automatically change
to N. When this happens, select an appropriate shift position.
Situations where the shifting operation will be disabled:
●
• When an attempt is made to change the shift position from P to another position by
moving the shift lever without depressing the brake pedal.
• When an attempt is made to change the shift position from P or N to B by moving
the shift lever.
Situations where the shift position will automatically change to N:
●
• When the P position switch is pressed while the vehicle is running.
• When an attempt is made to select the R position by moving the shift lever when the
vehicle is moving forward.
• When an attempt is made to select the D position by moving the shift lever when the
vehicle is moving in reverse.
• When an attempt is made to change the shift position from R to B by moving the shift
lever.
