D. Slowly move the shift lever from “P” to “R” to “N” to “D,” then back to “P,” allowing
each gear to fully engage prior to moving to the next gear position.
E. While observing the “D” shift
indicator on the combination
meter, move the shift lever back
and forth between “N” and “D” at
an interval of 1.5 seconds, for
6 seconds or more.
