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 (of a vehicle equipped with
Keyless Enter-N-Go™) in the ACC or ON/RUN
mode. A child could operate power windows, other
controls, 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 ignition switch can be turned to the LOCK/

OFF (key removal) position. The key fob can only be

removed from the ignition when the ignition is in the

LOCK/OFF position, and the transmission is locked in

PARK whenever the ignition switch is in the LOCK/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 ignition switch must be turned to the

ON/RUN position (engine running or not) and the brake

pedal must be pressed.
