Over-Temperature Mode
The transmission electronics constantly monitor the

transmission oil temperature. If the transmission exceeds

normal operating temperature, the transmission will

change the way it shifts to help control the condition.

This may result in a slightly different feeling or response

during normal operation in DRIVE position. After the

transmission cools down, it will return to normal

operation.

Key Ignition Park Interlock
This vehicle is equipped with a Key Ignition Park Inter-

lock which requires the shift lever to be placed in PARK

prior to rotating the key fob to the LOCK position. The

key fob can only be removed from the ignition when the

ignition is in the LOCK position. Once the key fob is

removed, the shift lever is locked in PARK.

Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock System
This vehicle is equipped with a Brake Transmission Shift

Interlock (BTSI) system that holds the shift lever in the

PARK position when the ignition switch is in the LOCK

position (OFF position with Keyless Enter-N-Go). To

move the shift lever out of the PARK position, the

ignition switch must be turned to any other ignition

position (ACC, ON/RUN or START) whether the engine

is running or not, and the brake pedal must be pressed.

Five-Speed Automatic Transmission
Shifting from DRIVE to PARK or REVERSE should be

done only after the accelerator pedal is released and the

vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep your foot on the brake

pedal when moving the shift lever between these gears.
