AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WARNING!
• It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or NEU-
TRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle
speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing 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 your foot is firmly
pressing the brake pedal.
• Unintended movement of a vehicle could
injure those in or near the vehicle. As with
all vehicles, you should never exit a ve-
hicle while the engine is running. Before
exiting a vehicle, always apply the parking
brake, shift the transmission into PARK,
turn the engine OFF, and remove the Key
Fob. When the ignition is in the OFF
position, the transmission is locked in
PARK, securing the vehicle against un-
wanted movement.

WARNING! (Continued)
• When leaving the vehicle, always make
sure the ignition is in the OFF position,
remove the key fob from the vehicle, and
lock the vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allow-
ing 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 chil-
dren), and do not leave the ignition in the
ACC or ON/RUN position. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.
(Continued)
CAUTION!
Damage to the transmission may occur if
the following precautions are not observed:
• Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE only
after the vehicle has come to a complete
stop.
• Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE,
NEUTRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is
above idle speed.
• Before shifting into any gear, make sure
your foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.
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
Interlock which requires the transmission to be
in PARK before the engine can be turned off.
This helps the driver avoid inadvertently leaving
the vehicle without placing the transmission in
PARK. This system also locks the transmission
in PARK whenever the ignition switch is in the
OFF position.
