TABLE OF CONTENTS

WARNING!
• When temperatures are below the freezing point, electrolyte in a discharged batterymay freeze. Do not attempt jump-starting because the battery could rupture or
explode and cause personal injury. Battery temperature must be brought above the
freezing point before attempting a jump-start.
• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can start anytime the ignition switch is on. You can be injured by moving fan blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry, such as watch bands or bracelets, that might make an
inadvertent electrical contact. You could be severely injured.
•
Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate hydrogen gas
which is flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or sparks away from the battery.
• Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection
and personal injury could result.
• Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property damage
due to battery explosion.
•
Do not connect the cable to the negative post (-) of the discharged battery. The resulting
electrical spark could cause the battery to explode and could result in personal injury.
SHIFT LEVER OVERRIDE
• If a malfunction occurs and the shift lever cannot be moved out of the PARK posi-
tion, you can use the following procedure
to temporarily move the shift lever:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
2. Firmly set the parking brake.
3. Remove the rubber storage tray liner from the center console, then lift up
the front of the shift lever bezel,
carefully disengage the bezel from
the shift lever housing, and slide it up
to the top of the shift lever.
4. Press and maintain firm pressure on the brake pedal.
5. Insert a small screwdriver or similar tool down into the access slot at the front of the shift lever assembly, and push and hold the white override release lever down.
6. Move the shift lever into the NEUTRAL position.
7. The vehicle may then be started in NEUTRAL.
8. Reinstall the shift lever bezel (use care to avoid pinching the wiring), and the rubber storage tray liner.
