WARNING!

(Continued)

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 a vehicle equipped with
Keyless Enter-N-Go ™) in the ACC or ON/RUN
position. 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 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.

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.

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 ignition switch must

be turned to the ON/RUN position (engine running, for

vehicles with eight-speed transmission) and the brake

pedal must be pressed.
In 8-speed vehicles, 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.
