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 transmission gear

selector 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.
