WARNING!

It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of P

(Park) or N (Neutral) if the engine speed is higher

than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the

brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly

forward or in reverse. You could lose control of the

vehicle and hit someone or something. Only shift

into gear when the engine is idling normally and

when your foot is firmly on the brake pedal.

Brake Transmission Shift Interlock System

This vehicle is equipped with a brake transmission shift

interlock system (BTSI) that holds the gearshift lever in

the P (Park) position when the ignition switch is in the

LOCK position. To move the gear selector lever out of the

P (Park) position, the ignition switch must be turned to

the ON position, and the brake pedal must be depressed.

Gear Ranges

NOTE: After selecting any gear range, wait a moment to

allow the selected gear to engage before accelerating.

This is especially important when the engine is cold. If

there is a need to restart the engine be sure to cycle the

key to the LOCK position before restarting. Transmission

gear engagement may be delayed after restarting the

engine if the key is not cycled to the LOCK position first.

P (Park)

Supplements the parking brake by locking the transmis-

sion. The engine can be started in this range. Never use P

(Park) while the vehicle is in motion. Apply the parking

brake when leaving the vehicle in this range.
