Other information:
The shift lock function helps prevent the
improper operation of the select lever.
The select lever cannot be operated
unless the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position and the brake pedal is
depressed.
The select lever cannot be moved from
the “P” position to any other position before
the brake pedal is depressed...
Each wheel was correctly balanced
when your vehicle was new, but the
wheels will become unbalanced as
the tires become worn during use.
Wheel imbalance causes the steering
wheel to vibrate slightly at
certain vehicle speeds and detracts
from the vehicle’s straight-line stability...
