Fail Safe Function
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Suzuki Grand Vitara. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
This function is provided by the safe mechanism that assures safe driveability even when the shift solenoid valve or speed sensor fails.
The table below shows the gear position in each shift under a normal/abnormal condition.
