WARNING!

(Continued)

Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with

access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to
be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a
number of reasons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal
or the transmission gear selector.

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

in a location accessible to children), and do not
leave the ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN position.
A child could operate power windows, other con-
trols, or move the vehicle.

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 transmission gear

selector 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.
