AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OPERATION (IF EQUIPPED)

Brake-shift interlock

This vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift interlock feature that prevents

the gearshift lever from being moved from P (Park) when the ignition is

in the RUN position unless brake pedal is depressed.

If you cannot move the gearshift lever out of P (Park) with ignition in

the RUN position and the brake pedal depressed, it is possible that a

fuse has blown or the vehicle’s brakelamps are not operating properly.

Refer to Fuses and relays in the Roadside Emergencies chapter.

If the fuse is not blown, perform the following procedure:

1. Apply the parking brake, turn the ignition to LOCK, then remove the

key.

2. Using a screwdriver or similar

tool, carefully pry out the small,

round, tethered Brake

Transmission Shift Interlock

(BTSI) cover cap located to the

right of the gearshift lever.

3. Insert a screwdriver or similar

tool straight down into the

access hole and press downward

while pulling the gearshift lever

out of the P (Park) position and

into the N (Neutral) position.

4. Remove tool and reinstall BTSI tethered cover cap.

5. Start the vehicle and release the parking brake.

WARNING: Do not drive your vehicle until you verify that the

brakelamps are working.
