NOTE: If the vehicle requires towing, make sure all four wheels are off the ground. BRAKE/TRANSMISSION INTERLOCK SYSTEM This vehicle is equipped with a Brake Transmission Shift Interlock System (BTSI) that holds the shift lever in the PARK position when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position. To move the shift lever out of the PARK position, the ignition switch must be turned to the ON or START position (engine running or not) and the brake pedal must be pressed. NOTE: If a malfunction occurs, the transaxle will not shift out of PARK. Battery power is required to release the brake/transmission interlock system. There is a removable plug in the right side of the shift lever housing that allows you to insert your finger to override the system. The key must be in the ignition and in the ON position to use the override lever. If this occurs, obtain service as soon as possible. 26
