approximately 12 seconds after a

sition. To turn off the message tempo-

2. Fully depress the accelerator
pedal slowly 3 times within 10 sec-
onds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK position.
NOTE:

nates when you start the vehicle,

not reset. If necessary, repeat this
procedure. 4. For vehicles equipped with the
