Arrow
If you havent pressed the winter mode button and you are getting the arrow it could mean there is a problem with your transmission even a split vacuum hose can produce the arrow
Try pressing winter mode see if the arrow goes

indeed a flashing arrow, when NOT in winter mode [manually selected] means a gearbox or ecu fault

The arrow when the stick is in "3" or "L" is to alert you that you have locked the gearbox down. In "3" it will use 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gears, in "L" it will use 1st and 2nd.
The arrow will also show if you have a "Winter" setting on the gearbox, which will force the gearbox into starting in 3rd. If the light is flashing on and off when you are in any of the modes (P/R/N/D/3/L) then you might have a problem. |
