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.

Fuel Economy (ECO) Mode

The Fuel Economy (ECO) mode can improve the vehi-

cle’s overall fuel economy during normal driving condi-

tions. Press the “ECO” switch in the center stack of the

instrument panel and an amber light will indicate the

ECO mode is engaged.
