be heard. This is a normal condition.
While the vehicle is driving in 5th
gear with the shift lever in the
"D" position, selecting the shift
lever to sports mode position
causes the transmission to down-
shift to 4th gear automatically to
secure driving performance. At
the time of shifting you can have a
shift feeling.
Also, the ignition key cannot be
removed unless the shift lever is in
the P (Park) position. If the ignition
switch is in any other position, the key
cannot be removed.
