Park

With the range selector in PARK

  1. the parking pawl locks the output shaft to the case.
  2. the ignition key can be removed.
  3. the ignition switch can be cycled from OFF to START or RUN. The ready indicator light will illuminate on the Instrument Cluster (IC) when the ignition switch is cycled to the START position.

The ready indicator light is located on the lower right hand corner of the IC .

Reverse

With the range selector in REVERSE

  1. the vehicle may be operated in a rearward direction.
  2. reversing lamps are illuminated.
  3. if the ready indicator light is not illuminated, which lights when the ignition switch is cycled to the START position, there is no reverse gear engagement.

Neutral

With the range selector in NEUTRAL

  1. no power flows through the transmission.
  2. the output shaft is disengaged from the drive wheels.

Drive

The range selector DRIVE position provides

  1. low speed driving.
  2. acceleration.
  3. cruise conditions.
  4. deceleration.
  5. maximum fuel economy during normal operation.

If the ready indicator light is not illuminated, which lights when the ignition switch is cycled to the START position, there is no forward gear engagement.

Low

The range selector LOW position provides

  1. engine braking.
  2. improved traction on slippery roads.

If the ready indicator light is not illuminated, which lights when the ignition switch is cycled to the START position, there is no forward gear engagement.

Brake Shift Interlock System

The brake shift interlock system prevents a shift out of PARK unless the brake pedal is depressed. The brake shift interlock system has a Brake Shift Interlock Actuator (BSIA) mounted on the selector lever assembly. If the ignition switch is in the RUN position, the BSIA will allow the selector lever to be moved out of PARK only when the brake pedal is pressed.

The external control of the Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (eCVT) is mechanically controlled by a cable connected to the selector lever and electronically controlled by the TR sensor (located on the transaxle). The selector lever position determines PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE and LOW modes. For diagnosis, removal and installation of the TR sensor, refer to AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION - ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (ECVT) .

Brake Shift Interlock Override

Note. If it is necessary to use the override procedure to move the selector lever out of the PARK position, it is possible that a fuse has blown and the brake lights are not operational. Before driving the vehicle, verify that the brake lights are working.

This vehicle is equipped with a brake shift interlock feature that prevents the selector lever from being moved out of PARK when the ignition is in the ON position unless the brake pedal is depressed.

If the selector lever cannot be moved out of the PARK position when the ignition is in the ON position and the brake pedal is depressed, carry out the following procedure

  1. With vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to «JACKING & LIFTING»(ref-355922) . NOTE: The ignition must be in the OFF position to make sure that the Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (eCVT) and the engine are OFF.
  2. Place the selector lever in the D position.
  3. Remove the bolts and the splash shield.
  4. Disconnect the selector lever cable end from the manual control lever.

  6. Unlock the adjuster by sliding the locking tab over.
  7. Align the selector lever cable end to the manual control lever ball stud and install it with the adjuster unlocked.
  8. Slide the selector lever cable adjuster tab in place to lock the selector lever cable.
  9. Verify that the vehicle starts in PARK and NEUTRAL only and that the reverse lamps illuminate in REVERSE.
  10. Install the splash shield and the bolts.
