• The ignition switch must be in the ON/RUN position

for a shift to take place and for the position indicator

lights to be operable. If the ignition switch is not in the

ON/RUN position, the shift will not take place and no

position indicator lights will be on or flashing.

• A flashing NEUTRAL (N) position indicator light

indicates that shift requirements have not been met.

• If the vehicle is equipped with air suspension, the

engine should be started and left running for a mini-

mum of 60 seconds (with all the doors closed) at least

once every 24 hours. This process allows the air

suspension to adjust the vehicle’s ride height to com-

pensate for temperature effects.
