Engine Speed Limiter

If you exceed the maximum speed

for the gear you are in, the engine

speed will enter into the

tachometer's red zone. If this occurs,

you may feel the engine cut in and

out. This is caused by a limiter in the

engine's computer controls. The

engine will run normally when you

reduce the rpm below the red zone.

Before downshifting, make sure the

engine will not go into the

tachometer's red zone.

The engine may cut in and out in R

position or depending on the road

condition even when the engine

speed is lower than the tachometer's

red zone. This is the engine's

computer working to protect the

transmission.

Shift Lock Release

This allows you to move the shift

lever out of Park if the normal

method of pushing on the brake

pedal and pressing the release button

does not work.

1. Set the parking brake.

2. Remove the key from the ignition

switch.

3. Put a cloth on the edge of the shift

lock release slot cover. Use a small

flat-tipped screwdriver or metal

fingernail file to carefully pry up

the edge of the cover and remove

it from the slot.
