CAUTION!

Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow-
ing precautions are not observed:
Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE only after

the vehicle has come to a complete stop.

Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE, NEU-

TRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is above idle
speed.

Before shifting into any gear, make sure your foot

is firmly pressing the brake pedal.

NOTE:

You must press and hold the brake pedal while

shifting out of PARK.

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 engine can be turned off. This helps the driver

avoid inadvertently leaving the vehicle without placing

the transmission in PARK. This system also locks the

transmission in PARK whenever the ignition switch is in

the 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 engine must be running and the brake

pedal must be pressed.
The brake pedal must also be pressed to shift from

NEUTRAL into DRIVE or REVERSE when the vehicle is

stopped or moving at low speeds.
