Over-Temperature Mode

The transmission electronics constantly monitor the

transmission oil temperature. If the transmission exceeds

normal operating temperature, the transmission will

change the way it shifts to help control the condition.

This may result in a slightly different feeling or response

during normal operation in the DRIVE position. After the

transmission cools down, it will return to normal

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 when the ignition light is in the OFF

position. To move the shift lever out of the PARK

position, the ignition light must be turned to the RUN

position by pressing the ENGINE START/STOP button

once or twice (engine running or not) and the brake pedal

must be pressed.

Shifting from DRIVE to PARK or REVERSE should be

done only after the accelerator pedal is released and the

vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep your foot on the brake

pedal when moving the shift lever between these gears.
