1. INSPECT SHIFT LEVER POSITION

  1. Apply the parking brake.

  1. Lock the wheels with chocks to secure the vehicle.

  1. Put the vehicle into the READY-on state.

  1. Move the shift lever to the D position and release the brake pedal.

    NOTICE:
    Be sure to apply the parking brake and lock the wheels with chocks to secure the vehicle.

  1. Slowly move the shift lever to the N position and measure moving distance (A) of the shift lever from the original point to the gear activation point.

    NOTICE:
    Be sure to move the shift lever slowly.

  1. Move the shift lever to the R position and release the brake pedal.

    NOTICE:
    Be sure to apply the parking brake and lock the wheels with chocks to secure the vehicle.

  1. Slowly move the shift lever to the N position and measure moving distance (B) of the shift lever from the original point to the vehicle activation point.

    NOTICE:
    Be sure to move the shift lever slowly.



  1. Check that moving distances (A) and (B) shown in the illustration are almost the same.

    HINT:
    1. If moving distances (A) and (B) are almost the same, adjustment of the shift lever position is not necessary.
    2. If moving distance (A) is shorter than (B), perform adjustment of the shift lever position [*1].
    3. If moving distance (B) is shorter than (A), perform adjustment of the shift lever position [*2].



2. ADJUST SHIFT LEVER POSITION


  1. If moving distance (A) is shorter than (B) [*1]:


    C116134E01

    HINT:
    If the shift lever is moved from the R to N position, the moving distance of the shift lever from the original point to the gear activation point becomes longer.


    1. Move the shift lever to the N position.

    2. Loosen the 2 bolts.



      3. C115287

    3. Slightly turn the park/neutral position switch counterclockwise.



      4. C108753E01

    4. Tighten the 2 bolts in the order shown in the illustration.

      Torque:
      13 N*m{ 133 kgf*cm , 10 ft.*lbf }

    5. Recheck the shift lever position.



  1. If moving distance (B) is shorter than (A) [*2]:


    C116135E01

    HINT:
    If the shift lever is moved from the D to N position, the moving distance of the shift lever from the original point to the gear activation point becomes longer.


    1. Move the shift lever to the N position.



      2. C108753

    2. Loosen the 2 bolts.



      3. C115288

    3. Slightly turn the park/neutral position switch clockwise.



      4. C108753E01

    4. Tighten the 2 bolts in the order shown in the illustration.

      Torque:
      13 N*m{ 133 kgf*cm , 10 ft.*lbf }

    5. Recheck the shift lever position.



3. INSPECT SHIFT LEVER OPERATION

  1. While moving the shift lever from the N position to each position, check that the lever moves smoothly and that the shift position indicator comes on properly according to the shift lever position.

  1. Put the vehicle into the READY-on state and check the following:

    1. When the shift lever is moved to the D position, the vehicle moves forward.

    2. When the shift lever is moved to the R position, the buzzer sounds and the vehicle moves in reverse.

      NOTICE:
      The vehicle should not move when the shift position indicator is off.
