Key Ignition Park Interlock

This vehicle is equipped with a Key Ignition Park Inter-

lock which requires the shift lever to be placed in PARK

prior to turning the key fob to the LOCK position. The

key fob can only be removed from the ignition switch

when the ignition is in the LOCK position and once

removed the shift lever is locked in PARK.

This vehicle is equipped with a Brake Transmission Shift

Interlock System (BTSI) that holds the shift lever in the

PARK position when the ignition switch is in the LOCK

position. To move the shift lever out of the PARK

position, the ignition switch must be turned to any other

switch position (ACC, ON, or START) (engine running or

not) and the brake pedal must be pressed.

Column Shifter – If Equipped

There is an override for the BTSI that allows you to move

the shift lever out of the PARK position if an electrical

system malfunction occurs (e.g., dead battery).

1. Turn the key fob to the ACC or ON position without

starting the engine.

2. Tilt the steering wheel to the full up position

3. Firmly set the parking brake.

4. Press and maintain firm pressure on the brake pedal.
