If the “N” indicator light in the instrument panel flashes,
there could be a malfunction with the automatic transaxle
system. Identify and take action in accordance with the
following procedures:
1. The “N” indicator light flashes rapidly (twice per
second) in the “D” or “Autostick” range.
If this occurs, the automatic transaxle fluid is overheat-
ing. Park your vehicle in a safe place but do not turn off
the engine. Move the selector lever to the “P” position
and open the hood. Keep the engine idling.
After a while, move the selector lever to the “D” or
“Autostick” position and confirm that the “N” indicator
light stops flashing. It is safe to continue driving if the
“N” light no longer flashes.
Be sure to carry out this check with the selector lever in
the “D” or “Autostick” position. The “N” indicator light
warning function operates only in the “D” or “Autostick”
range.
If the “N” indicator light continues flashing or flashes
intermittently, have your vehicle inspected by an autho-
rized dealer.
2. The “N” indicator light flashes slowly (once per
second) in the “D” or “Autostick” range.
The automatic transaxle safety device may be operating
due to a malfunction.
Have your vehicle inspected by an authorized dealer as
soon as possible.
