Adjustment process:
1. Place the gear shift lever in the “Park” position.
2. Find the automatic transmission cable. It is usually located in the engine compartment near the throttle body.
3. Loosen the locknut on the lower cable joint. To do this, use a wrench.
4. Adjust the free play of the cable. Rotate the cable end with a wrench or pliers until the free play is 12-15 mm.

6. Check the cable operation. Move the gearshift lever through all positions to ensure that gear shifts smoothly and accurately.
