32 STARTING AND OPERATING AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARNING! (Continued) WARNING! • It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. 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 the engine is idling normally and your foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.
STARTING AND OPERATING 33 WARNING! (Continued) CAUTION! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the transmission gear selector.
34 STARTING AND OPERATING the transmission in PARK. This system also locks the You must press the brake pedal to shift the transmission transmission in PARK whenever the ignition switch is in out of PARK, (refer to “Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock System” in this section). To drive, move the shift the OFF position. lever from PARK or NEUTRAL to the DRIVE position.
STARTING AND OPERATING 35 The electronically-controlled transmission provides a precise shift schedule. The transmission electronics are self-calibrating; 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 (kilometers). NOTE: After selecting any gear range, wait a moment to allow the selected gear to engage before accelerating. This is especially important when the engine is cold.
36 STARTING AND OPERATING When parking on a hill, apply the parking brake before shifting the transmission to PARK, otherwise the load on the transmission locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the shift lever out of PARK. As an added precaution, turn the front wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away from the curb on an uphill grade. WARNING! • Never use the PARK position as a substitute for the parking brake.
STARTING AND OPERATING 37 WARNING! (Continued) WARNING! (Continued) • Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in or near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the parking brake, shift the transmission into PARK, turn the engine OFF, and remove the Key Fob. When the ignition is in the OFF position, the transmission is locked in the PARK, securing the vehicle against unwanted movement.
38 STARTING AND OPERATING CAUTION! • Release the shift lever and make sure it is fully seated in the PARK gate. • Before moving the shift lever out of PARK, you must turn the ignition switch from the LOCK/OFF position to the ON/RUN position, and also press the brake pedal. Otherwise, damage to the shift lever could result. • DO NOT race the engine when shifting from PARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range, as this can damage the drivetrain.
STARTING AND OPERATING 39 WARNING! Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off the ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe practices that limit your response to changing traffic or road conditions. You might lose control of the vehicle and have a collision. CAUTION! Towing the vehicle, coasting, or driving for any other reason with the transmission in NEUTRAL can cause severe transmission damage.
40 STARTING AND OPERATING 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 enable or disable press the Secure Park button located on the back side of the steering wheel.
STARTING AND OPERATING 41 System Activated The system is activated when the transmission is shifted into park and the system is enabled. If the brake is pressed after activation, a message will be displayed that states the Secure Park is activated. To Deactivate Mode is activated. In this mode, the transmission remains in the current gear until the vehicle is brought to a stop. After the vehicle has stopped, the transmission will remain in second gear regardless of which forward gear is selected.
42 STARTING AND OPERATING 5. Restart the engine. Overdrive Operation 6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the problem is no The automatic transmission includes an electronically longer detected, the transmission will return to normal controlled Overdrive (fifth gear).
