  1. Pull the parking brake lever.
  2. Move the selector lever to every range and check that the lever moves smoothly with secure feel of engagement.

  4. Start the engine. Release the parking brake lever.
  5. Make sure that the vehicle moves forward when the selector lever is moved from the "N" range to "D" range, or to the 1st to 6th speed in the sport mode. Also make sure that the vehicle moves backward when the selector lever is moved from the "N" to "R" range.
