Conditions That Force An Automatic Shift To
Park While In Autostop Mode
The engine will not start automatically and
the transmission will be placed in PARK if:
• The driver door is open and brake pedal
released.
• The driver door is open and the driver seat
belt is unbuckled.

• A STOP/START system error present.
The engine may then be restarted by moving
the transmission shift selector out of PARK

play a SHIFT OUT OF PARK message, or a
STOP/START KEY START REQUIRED mes-
sage, to indicate which action is required.
