WARNING!
If vehicle speed is not below 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h) when
the driver shifts into PARK, the transmission will default
to NEUTRAL until the vehicle speed drops below
1.2 mph (1.9 km/h) and the above condition is met,
enabling AutoPark. A vehicle left in the NEUTRAL
position can roll. As an added precaution, always apply
the parking brake when exiting the vehicle.

1.
Place the gear selector in PARK, then push and
release the ENGINE START/STOP button.
2.
The ignition button indicator will return to the OFF
position.
3.
If the gear selector is not in PARK, with vehicle
speed less than 5 mph (8 km/h), when the
ENGINE START/STOP button is pushed, the
instrument cluster display will display a
"Vehicle Not In Park" message, and the vehicle
will remain running.
4.
If the gear selector is not in PARK, with vehicle speed
greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), when the ENGINE
START/STOP button is pushed continuously for at
least two seconds (or three short pushes in a row) the
vehicle ignition mode will exit Drive Ready mode and
enter Accessory mode. Never leave a vehicle out of
the PARK position, or it could roll.
NOTE:
 This vehicle is equipped with an automatic shutdown
feature. If the vehicle is left in a READY state (vehicle
running) with the gear selector in PARK for one hour,
the vehicle will automatically turn itself off.
 The vehicle provides automatic notification, using a
three Horn Chirp Alert, cluster chiming, and a cluster
message ("Key Fob Has Left The Vehicle") if the vehicle
U
SING
was not turned OFF (still "Ready to Drive") and a valid
UTTON
key fob for the vehicle is not detected within the
passenger cabin, following the opening and closing of
any passenger compartment door (requires all doors to
be closed before the key fob check will occur). These
automatic alerts are to remind the driver to turn off the
vehicle before leaving it, as well as, to let the driver
know that the vehicle's key fob may have been uninten-
tionally removed from the vehicle by an exiting
passenger. After providing the Horn Chirp Alert, addi-
tional auto chirps will be inhibited until the gear
selector has been moved out of park or ignition cycled.
STARTING AND OPERATING

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

You must press and hold the brake pedal while shifting out
of PARK.
WARNING!
 Never use the PARK (P) position as a substitute for
the parking brake. Always apply the parking brake
fully when exiting the vehicle to guard against vehicle
movement and possible injury or damage.
 Your vehicle could move and injure you and others if
it is not in PARK. Check by trying to move the trans-
mission gear selector out of PARK with the brake
pedal released. Make sure the transmission is in
PARK before exiting the vehicle.
 The transmission may not engage PARK if the vehicle
is moving. Always bring the vehicle to a complete
stop before shifting to PARK, and verify that the
transmission gear position indicator solidly indicates
PARK without blinking. Ensure that the vehicle is
completely stopped, and the PARK position is prop-
erly indicated, before exiting the vehicle.
 It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or NEUTRAL 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
your foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.
