possible
to
start
from
a standstill
even
with
the
selector
lever
in
the
“D”
(DRIVE)
or
“R”
(REVERSE) position. This
phenomenon
occurs
because
the
trans-
axle has
not warmed
up sufficiently
; it does
not
indicate
a problem.
If this
occurs,
place
the
selector
lever
in the
“P”
(PARK)
position
and let the engine idle for at least 10
minutes.
The
transaxle
will
warm

you
will
be
able to drive normally
.
