Intermediate Position

If the TCS is rotated slowly from 'P' to 'S' and back to position 'P' with the brake pedal pressed, the 'R' or 'D' position display letter in the message center will flash and the transmission will remain in 'P' or 'N' depending on the previous starting position of the TCS.

If the brake pedal is released when 'R' or 'D' is flashing in the message center and the TCS is rotated to the 'R' or 'D' position, the required range will not be selected and the transmission will remain in 'P' or 'N', depending on the previous starting position. This feature is known as soft lock.

If the driving range letter in the message center is flashing and the vehicle has no drive, the driver should depress the brake pedal to reselect 'N' or 'P', and then select the required driving range while the brake pedal remains pressed.
