SECURE VEHICLE

If the vehicle is not secure and the shift lever is moved to N, the vehicle may suddenly move, possibly resulting in an accident or serious injury.

INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2. Depress the brake pedal and check that the engine starts when the shift lever is in N or P, but does not start in any other position.
3. Check that the back-up light illuminates only when the shift lever is in R, but does not function in any other position.
  If a malfunction or failure is found, check the park/neutral position switch assembly for continuity.
