STARTING AND OPERATING
Ignition Park Lock
In this manual: STARTING AND OPERATING
~1min read
This vehicle is equipped with an ignition park interlock. This interlock requires the transmission to be in PARK before the ignition can be turned to the OFF position. This helps prevent the driver from unintentionally leaving the vehicle without placing the transmission in PARK. This system also locks the transmission in PARK whenever the ignition is in the OFF position.
NOTE:
The transmission is NOT locked in PARK when the ignition is in the ACC position (even though the engine will be off). Make sure the transmission is in PARK and the ignition is OFF (not in the ACC position) before exiting the vehicle.
