Shift Lever Position Indicators
These indicators between the tacho-
meter and speedometer show which
position the shift lever is in.
The ''D'' indicator comes on for a
few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to ON (II). If it
flashes while driving (in any shift
position), it indicates a possible
problem in the transmission.
