  3. Remove the transmission range switch (B).
  4. Shift the transmission into the N position by turning the control lever (A). Do not squeeze the end (B) of the control shaft tips together when shifting. If the tips are squeezed together it will cause a faulty signal or position due to the play between the control shaft and the switch.
