NOTE:
• Steps 1 through 5 are requirements that must be met
prior to pressing the NEUTRAL button, and must
continue to be met until one second elapses and the
shift has been completed. If any of these requirements
(with the exception of 3 - key ON) are not met prior to
pressing the NEUTRAL button or are no longer met
during the one second time, then all of the mode
position indicator lights will flash continuously until
all requirements are met or until the NEUTRAL button
is released.
• The ignition key must be ON for a shift to take place
and for the position indicator lights to be operable. If
the key is not ON, the shift will not take place and no
position indicator lights will be on or flashing.
• A flashing NEUTRAL position indicator light indicates
that shift requirements have not been met.
