WARNING!

(Continued)

Children should be warned not to touch the park-

ing brake, brake pedal or the shift lever.

Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle (or

in a location accessible to children), and do not
leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with
Keyless Enter-N-Go ™ in the ACC or ON/RUN
mode. A child could operate power windows, other
controls, or move the vehicle.

Key Ignition Park Interlock

This vehicle is equipped with a Key Ignition Park Inter-

lock which requires the transmission to be in PARK

before the ignition switch can be turned to the full OFF

(key removal) position. The key fob can only be removed

from the ignition when the ignition is in the full OFF

position, and the transmission is locked in PARK when-

ever the ignition switch is in the full OFF position.

Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock System

This vehicle is equipped with a Brake Transmission Shift

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

unless the brakes are applied. To shift the transmission

out of PARK, the ignition switch must be turned to the

ON/RUN position (engine running or not) and the brake

pedal must be pressed.

Five-Speed Automatic Transmission

The transmission gear position display (located in the

instrument cluster) indicates the transmission gear range.

You must press the brake pedal to move the shift lever

out of PARK (refer to “Brake/Transmission Shift Inter-

lock System” in this section). To drive, move the shift

lever from PARK or NEUTRAL to the DRIVE position.
The electronically-controlled transmission provides a

precise shift schedule. The transmission electronics are

self-calibrating; therefore, the first few shifts on a new
