If the malfunction indicator lamp
comes on along with the
‘‘D’’
indicator, there is a problem with the
automatic transmission control
system. Avoid rapid acceleration, and
have the transmission checked by
your dealer as soon as possible.

possible problem with the
transmission, you will see a
‘‘CHECK TRANSMISSION’’
message on the multi-information
display (see page
).
