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 when-

ever 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.

Fuel Economy (ECO) Mode

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

cle’s overall fuel economy during normal driving condi-

tions. Each time the vehicle is started ECO mode is

engaged and an amber light in the center stack of the

instrument panel will be illuminated. To disable ECO

mode, press the “ECO” switch in the center stack of the

instrument panel and the amber light will go out indi-

cating ECO mode is disabled.
