414 STARTING AND OPERATING

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 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 when-

ever the ignition switch is in the OFF position.

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 engine must be running and the brake

pedal must be pressed.

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.

The Fuel Economy (ECO) mode can improve the vehi-

cle's overall fuel economy during normal driving condi-

tions. To disable ECO mode, push the "ECO" switch in

the center stack of the instrument panel and the amber

light will go out indicating ECO mode is disabled.
