The vehicle will not be harmed if the transaxle is not shifted when the light illuminates, but the vehicle will use more fuel. light can be ignored when The you are: • downshifting • driving on steep hills • using the engine to brake the vehicle • seeking more power for a difficult acceleration To maximize gearshift performance: 100
