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 exit ing a vehicle, always apply
the parking brake, shif t 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.
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the
key fob and lock your vehicle.
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 leave the key fob
in or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible
to children), and do not leave the ignition of a
vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go™ in
theACC or ON/RUN mode.A child could operate
power windows, other controls, or move t he ve-
hicle.
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.
The following indicators should be used to ensure that
you have engaged the transmission into the PARK
position:
When shifting into PARK, firmly move the shift lever
all the way forward and to the left until it stops and is
fully seated.
Look at the transmission gear position display and
verify that it indicates the PARK position.
With brake pedal released, verify that the shift lever
will not move out of PARK.
