NOTE:
If you try to remove the key before you place
the shift lever in PARK, the key may become
trapped temporarily in the ignition switch
cylinder. If this occurs, place the shift lever
in PARK, rotate the key clockwise slightly,
then remove the key as described above. If a
malfunction occurs, the system will trap the
key in the ignition cylinder to warn you that
this safety feature is inoperable. The engine
can be started and stopped but the key
cannot be removed until you obtain service.
WARNING!
• Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the
parking brake, shift the transmission into
PARK and remove the Key Fob from the
vehicle. When leaving the vehicle, always
lock your vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
• Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat-
tended is dangerous for a number of rea-
sons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the gear selector.
