Automatic Transmission Operation

Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission
that features an electronic shift position indicator located
within the instrument panel cluster. This display is
powered anytime the shift lever is capable of being
moved out of PARK (P). This means that if your key is
in OFF, rather than LOCK, there will be a small current
drain on your battery which could discharge your battery
over a period of time. If you have to leave your key
in the ignition in OFF for an extended period, it is
recommended that you remove the IGN 0 fuse from
the instrument panel fuse block. See "Fuses and
Circuit Breakers" in the Index.
