Warning! Vehicles are equipped with safety systems (SRS), including airbags and seat belt tensioners. Before working near the impact sensors, instrument panel and steering column, first disconnect the negative and then the positive terminals from the battery and wait about two minutes. This will prevent unauthorized deployment of airbags and seat belt tensioners, which could cause injury.

Set the gear selector lever on the gearbox to the "N" position (figures 9.20, 9.21, 9.22).
Set the selector lever inside the vehicle to the "N" position.
An assistant should hold the selector lever inside the vehicle with slight pressure towards the "R" position while tightening the nut securing the selector cable to the gear selector lever on the gearbox.
When moving the selector lever, make sure that the gear selector lever also moves to the appropriate positions. In each position of the selector lever, try to start the engine. The starter should only engage when the selector lever is in positions "P" and "N".
