CAUTION! (Continued) • Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed. • Do not shift between P ARK, REVERSE, NEU- TRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is above idle speed. • Before shifting into any gear , make sure your foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal. NOTE: Y ou must pr ess[...]

W ARNING! (Continued) • 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 shift lever . • Do not[...]

Brake/T ransmission Shift Interlock System This vehicle is equipped with a Brake T ransmission Shift Interlock system (BTSI) that holds the shift lever in P ARK unless the brakes are applied.
