TRANSMISSION CONTROL

GENERAL INFORMATION
For LHD vehicles, the selector lever assembly is installed on the floor console, and for RHD vehicles, it is installed on the instrument panel. In addition, for RHD vehicles, the selector lever assembly is equipped with the energy absorbing mechanism which absorbs impact energy at collision. The selector lever assembly has two gates; main gate and manual gate. Main gate has four shift positions (P, R, N, D), which allows the same control as the conventional A/T. The manual gate allows the driver to select gears just like a manual transmission. In order to prevent a sudden start caused by misguided lever operation, the system uses A/T prevention misguided operation mechanisms (consisting of shift lock mechanism and key interlock mechanism). <4G63 and 4G69 (For Hong Kong, Brunei, Singapore, Malaysia, Argentina and South Africa)> COMPONENT VIEW
ENERGY ABSORBING MECHANISM <RHD VEHICLES> When impact energy is applied to the selector lever knob, the part "a" in the figure is stretched, and the selector lever is retracted to absorb the impact.
