Shift Lever Operation Check
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Check that the engine starts when the shift lever is in the N (Brake pedal is depressed) or P range, and that the engine does not start in other ranges.
- Start the engine, and release the parking brake. Then, check that the vehicle travels forward when the shift lever is in the D range or the mode is set to the manual mode, and that the vehicle travels backward when the shift lever is set in the R range.
- Stop the engine.
- Turn ON the ignition switch, and move the shift lever from the P to R range. Check that the back-up light becomes on at this time.NOTE: Because the mis-operation preventive device is equipped, the shift lever cannot be moved out of the P position unless the ignition switch is turned to the position other than LOCK (OFF) and the brake pedal is depressed.
