My car has the same problem. I live in the United States. It displayed the problem right after the warranty expired. The dealer won't do anything unless I pay for it. Sometimes it's really scary when I'm in a place far from home or it's night time a…
I would try lubing the shifter mechanism. Go to www.smartcarofamerica.com and do a search on this topic. It will probably direct you to the Evolution.com. and there will be a tutorial on how to do this yourself. The trick is to remove the shifter kn…

Thanks very much. I'll try it. The Owner's Manual is confusing.
turn key to ON and let computer come up to par, a few seconds, you will hear all kind of clicks and buzz.

press brake
run shifter through all gears including manual shifter mode and back to park, take your time, a few seconds in each gear.
see if that works.
