In the event of a momentary problem, the transmission

can be reset to regain all forward gears by performing the

following steps:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission into PARK.
3. Turn the engine OFF.
4. Wait approximately 10 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the problem is no

longer detected, the transmission will return to normal

operation.

NOTE:

Even if the transmission can be reset, we recom-

mend that you visit your authorized dealer at your

earliest possible convenience. Your authorized dealer has

diagnostic equipment to determine if the problem could

recur.
If the transmission cannot be reset, authorized dealer

service is required.
