!
The first few shifts on a new vehicle, or
if the battery has been disconnected,
may be somewhat abrupt. This is a
normal condition, and the shifting se-
quence will adjust after shifts are cycled
a few times by the T.C.M (Transaxle
Control Module).
CAUTION:
Never shift into "R" or "P" position
whilst the vehicle is moving.
