14 STARTING AND OPERATING
NOTE:
The transmission electronics are self-cali-

brating; therefore, the first few shifts on a
new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt. This is
a normal condition, and precision shifts will
develop within a few hundred miles (kilome-
ters).
In the event of a mismatch between the gear

selector position and the actual transmission
gear (for example, driver selects PARK while
driving), the position indicator will blink
continuously until the selector is returned to
the proper position, or the requested shift
can be completed.
The electronically-controlled transmission
adapts its shift schedule based on driver inputs,
along with environmental and road conditions.
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 between these
gears.
The transmission gear selector provides PARK,
REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE, and MANUAL
(AutoStick) shift positions.
Secure Park Anti-Theft System
The Secure Park anti-theft system was designed
to enable law enforcement officers to leave
their vehicles unattended with the engines
running without the ability of the vehicle to be
driven away. This system utilizes the Brake
Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) to prevent
the transmission from shifting out of PARK.
Enabling and Disabling The System
To manually enable or disable, push the Secure
Park button located on the back side of the
steering wheel when the engine is running. The
vehicle can be in any gear to enable. Either
center button located on the right rear or left
rear of the steering wheel may be used.
Automatic enable and disable options can also
be selected in Fleet Settings Ú page 9.
Secure Park Button
(Back View Of Steering Wheel)
The instrument cluster will display a message
indicating when the system is Active or Off.
NOTE:
The normal radio functionality for the left-rear
and right-rear center buttons (Preset advance
and Audio Mode advance) is deactivated.
