Gear Lights
The gear lights are located in the center and at the top
of the warning light cluster. See Figure 6. Once a gear
is selected, the instrument panel will illuminate a gear
light or a combination of gear lights. If the vehicle has
not shifted properly, or there is a shifting issue, the
lights will flash for 5 seconds and an audible tone will
sound. During this time a shift will not be allowed,
however, once the lights stop flashing, shifting will be
allowed. Refer to SECTION 8:Troubleshooting to
determine the failure mode.
