Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock; System; Six-Speed Automatic Transmission - Lancia Voyager 2013 Owner's Handbook Manual

LOCK/OFF position, and once re-
moved, the shift lever is locked in
PARK.
NOTE: If a malfunction occurs,
the system will trap the key fob in
the ignition switch to warn you
that this safety feature is inoper-
able. The engine can be started
and stopped but the key fob cannot
be removed until you obtain ser-
vice.
BRAKE/TRANSMISSION
SHIFT INTERLOCK

SYSTEM

This vehicle is equipped with a Brake
Transmission Shift Interlock System
(BTSI) that holds the shift lever in the
PARK position unless the brakes are
applied. To move the shift lever out of
PARK, the ignition switch must be
turned to the ON/RUN position (en-
gine running or not) and the brake
pedal must be pressed.
SIX-SPEED AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
The shift lever position display (lo-
cated in the instrument cluster) indi-
cates the transmission gear range. You
must press the brake pedal to move
the shift lever out of PARK (Refer to

Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock

System in this section). To drive,
move the shift lever from PARK or
NEUTRAL to the DRIVE position.
The electronically-controlled trans-
mission provides a precise shift sched-
ule. The transmission electronics are
self-calibrating; therefore, the first
few shifts on a new vehicle may be
somewhat abrupt. This is a normal
condition, and precision shifts will de-
velop within a few hundred kilome-
ters.
Shift Lever
Only shift from DRIVE to PARK or
REVERSE when the accelerator
pedal is released and the vehicle is
stopped. Be sure to keep your foot on
the brake pedal when shifting be-
tween these gears.
The transmission shift lever has only
PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, and
DRIVE shift positions. Manual shifts
can be made using the Electronic
Range Select (ERS) shift control (de-
scribed later in this section). Moving
the shift lever to the left or right (–/ +)
while in the DRIVE position will se-
lect the highest available transmission
gear, and will display that gear in the
instrument cluster as 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
