^ The actual position of the selector lever matches the position shown by the shift position indicator and the A/T body.
^ The back-up lamps illuminate only when the selector lever is placed in the "R" position.
^ The back-up lamps do not illuminate when the selector lever is pushed against the "R" position when in the "P" or "N" position.
^ The engine can only be started with the selector lever in the "P" and "N" positions.
^ The A/T is locked completely when in the "P" position.
