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 shift lever.

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

in a location accessible to children), and do not
leave a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-
Go™ (if equipped) in the ACC or ON/RUN posi-
tion. 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 shifter to be in
PARK before the ignition switch can be turned to the OFF
position. The key fob can only be removed from the
ignition when the ignition is in the OFF position, and the
shift lever is locked in PARK whenever the ignition
switch is in the OFF position.

NOTE:

If a malfunction occurs, the system will trap the

key fob in the ignition switch to warn you that this safety
feature is inoperable. The engine can be started and
stopped but the key fob cannot be removed until you
obtain service.
