Vehicle Security Indicator Light
Yellow TelltaleLight What It Means
Vehicle Security Indicator Light
If during starting, the key code is not correctly recognized, the Vehicle Security Light comes
on in the instrument panel. In this case, turn the key to OFF and then to ON/RUN; if it is
still locked, try again with the other keys that come with the vehicle. Contact an authorized
dealer if you still cannot start the engine.
If with the engine running and the warning light comes on, this means that the system is
running a self-test (for example for a voltage drop).

General Functions And Settings
Turn The Radio On Or Off
To turn the radio on or off, push the ROTARY knob (push
once to turn on and hold for about three seconds to turn
off), not dependent on the ignition position.
The default radio configuration is “Auto Switch ON (see
SETUP MENU section). In this configuration, the radio
will follow two parameters: ignition and previous state. If the ignition is turned off with the radio on, the radio will
be turned off, but will come on again when the ignition is
turned on. If the ignition is turned off with the radio off,
the radio continues to be turned off when the ignition is
turned on again.
If you prefer, you can set
Auto Switch OFF(see SETUP
MENU section). The radio will only consider the ignition
switch position when it executes the 60 min function:
when the ignition is turned off, the radio will display the
message 60 MIN for three seconds and switch off
automatically after 60 minutes if no buttons are pushed.
When it is turned on, the radio will display a greeting
message. When it is turned off, the radio will display the
message GOOD BYE before it switches off.
Audio
You can use the AUDIO button to access the available
audio settings (described in the sections below).

WARNING!(Continued)
Once the key is removed, the transmission is
locked in PARK, securing the vehicle against un-
wanted movement.
• When leaving the vehicle, always remove the igni-
tion key from the vehicle and lock the vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to
be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a
number of reasons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal
or the transmission gear selector.
• Do not leave the ignition key in or near the vehicle
(or in a location accessible to children). A child
could operate power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow-
ing precautions are not observed:
• Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE only after
the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
• Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE, NEU-
TRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is above idle
speed.
• Before shifting into any gear, make sure your foot
is firmly pressing the brake pedal.
NOTE: You must press and hold the brake pedal while
shifting out of PARK.
Key Ignition Park Interlock
This vehicle is equipped with a Key Ignition Park Inter-
lock which requires the transmission to be in PARK
before the ignition switch can be turned to the LOCK/

WARNING!(Continued)
vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in re-
verse. You could lose control of the vehicle and hit
someone or something. Only shift into gear when
the engine is idling normally and your foot is
firmly pressing the brake pedal.
• Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure
those in or near the vehicle. As with all vehicles,
you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is
running. Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the
transmission into PARK, apply the parking brake,
turn the engine OFF, and remove the ignition key.
Once the key is removed, the transmission is
locked in PARK, securing the vehicle against un-
wanted movement.
• When leaving the vehicle, always remove the igni-
tion key from the vehicle and lock the vehicle.

STARTING AND OPERATING 227

NOTE:Even if the transmission can be reset, we recom-
mend that you visit your authorized dealer at your
earliest possible convenience. Your authorized dealer has
diagnostic equipment to determine if the problem could
recur.
If the transmission cannot be reset, authorized dealer
service is required.
Electronic Range Select (ERS) Operation
The Electronic Range Select (ERS) shift control allows the
driver to limit the highest available gear. For example, if
you set the transmission gear limit to 4 (fourth gear), the
transmission will not shift above fourth gear, but will
shift through the lower gears normally.
You can switch between DRIVE and ERS mode at any
vehicle speed. When the shift lever is in the DRIVE
position, the transmission will operate automatically, shifting between all available gears. Moving the shift
lever to the ERS position (beside DRIVE) will activate
ERS mode, display the current gear in the instrument
cluster, and set that gear as the top available gear. Once in
ERS mode, moving the shift lever forward (-) or rearward
(+) will change the top available gear.
To exit ERS mode, simply return the shift lever to the
DRIVE position.
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a
slippery surface. The drive wheels could lose their
grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or
personal injury.
