STARTING AND OPERATING
(Continued)
(Continued)
NOTE:
This vehicle is equipped with an automatic shut
-
down feature. If the vehicle is left in a READY
state (vehicle running) with the gear selector in
PARK for 30 minutes, the vehicle will automati
-
cally turn itself off.
The vehicle provides automatic notification
using a three horn chirp alert, cluster chiming,
and a cluster message (“Key Fob Has Left The
Vehicle”) if the vehicle was not turned off (still
“Ready to Drive”) and a valid key fob for the
vehicle is not detected within the passenger
cabin, following the opening and closing of any
passenger compartment door (requires all
doors to be closed before the key fob check will
occur). These automatic alerts are to remind the
driver to turn off the vehicle before leaving it, as
well as, to let the driver know that the vehicle's
key fob may have been unintentionally removed
from the vehicle by an exiting passenger. After
providing the horn chirp alert, additional auto
chirps will be inhibited until the gear selector
has been moved out of PARK or ignition cycled.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
NOTE:
You must press and hold the brake pedal while
shifting out of PARK.
WARNING!
Never use the PARK position as a substitute
for the parking brake. Always apply the
parking brake fully when exiting the vehicle to
guard against vehicle movement and possible
injury or damage.
Your vehicle could move and injure you and
others if it is not in PARK. Check by trying to
move the transmission gear selector out of
PARK with the brake pedal released. Make
sure the transmission is in PARK before
exiting the vehicle.
The transmission may not engage PARK if the
vehicle is moving. Always bring the vehicle to a
complete stop before shifting to PARK, and
verify that the transmission gear position indi
-
cator solidly indicates PARK (P) without
blinking. Ensure that the vehicle is completely
stopped, and the PARK position is properly
indicated, before exiting the vehicle.
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.
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 come to a complete stop, then apply
the parking brake, shift the transmission into
PARK, and turn the ignition OFF. When the
ignition is in the OFF position, the transmis
-
sion is locked in PARK, securing the vehicle
against unwanted movement.
When exiting the vehicle, always make sure
the ignition is in the OFF position, remove the
key fob from the vehicle, and lock the vehicle.
