3. Push and hold the ignition switch until the engine turnsOFF.
4. Wait approximately 30 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the problem is no longer detected, the transmission will return to normal
operation.
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 diagnos-
tic equipment to determine if the problem could recur. If
the transmission cannot be reset, authorized dealer service
is required.
Ignition Park Interlock
Vehicles Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go:
This vehicle is equipped with an Ignition Park Interlock,
which requires the transmission to be in PARK before the
ignition can be turned to the OFF mode. Also, the trans-
mission is locked in PARK whenever the ignition is in the
OFF mode.
Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock System
This vehicle is equipped with a Brake Transmission Shift
Interlock system (BTSI) that holds the transmission gear
selector in PARK unless the brakes are applied. To shift the
transmission out of PARK, the ignition must be in the RUN
mode (engine running or not) and the brake pedal must be
pressed.
The brake pedal must also be pressed before pushing the
button on the gear selector to shift from NEUTRAL into
DRIVE or REVERSE when the vehicle is stopped or mov-
ing at low speeds.
POWER STEERING
The electric power steering system will give you good
vehicle response and increased ease of maneuverability in
tight spaces. The system will vary its assist to provide light
efforts while parking and good feel while driving. If the
electric steering system experiences a fault that reduces
assist or prevents the vehicle from providing assist, you
will still have the ability to steer the vehicle manually.

STARTING AND OPERATING 271

Deactivation
A soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing the CANC button,
or normal brake pressure while slowing the vehicle will
deactivate the Speed Control without erasing the set speed
from memory.
Pushing the on/off button or placing the ignition to OFF
erases the set speed from memory.
REAR PARKSENSE — IF EQUIPPED
The Rear ParkSense system provides visual and audible
indications of the distance between the rear fascia and a
detected obstacle when backing up, e.g. during a parking
maneuver. Refer to ParkSense System Usage Precautions
for limitations of this system and recommendations.
Rear ParkSense will retain the last system state (enabled or
disabled) from the last ignition cycle when the ignition is
changed to the RUN position.
Rear ParkSense can be active only when the gear selector is
in REVERSE.
Rear ParkSense Sensors
The four Rear ParkSense sensors, located in the rear
fascia/bumper, monitor the area behind the vehicle that is
within the sensors’ field of view. The sensors can detectobstacles from approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to 59
inches (150 cm) from the rear fascia/bumper in the hori-
zontal direction, depending on the location, type and
orientation of the obstacle.
Chime
By shifting the vehicle in REVERSE and in the case of the
presence of a rear obstacle, an acoustic signal that varies
with the distance of the obstacle from the bumper is
activated.

The Rear ParkSense switch LED will be on when Rear
ParkSense is disabled or requires service. The Rear
ParkSense switch LED will be off when the system is
enabled. If the Rear ParkSense switch is pushed, and
requires service, the Rear ParkSense switch LED will blink
momentarily, and then the LED will be on.
Rear ParkSense will remember the previous state when the
vehicle is switch off.
CAUTION!
After turning OFF the ignition, the Rear ParkSense
remains in this setting until the next ignition cycle,
even in the case of changing the setting of starting
RUN to OFF and then again in RUN.
Service The Rear ParkSense System
During vehicle start up, when the Rear ParkSense System
has detected a faulted condition, the instrument cluster
will actuate a single chime, once per ignition cycle, and itwill display a message such as “PARKSENSE UNAVAIL-
ABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS” or the “PARKSENSE UN-
AVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED”. Refer to “Instrument
Cluster Display” for further information. When the gear
selector is moved to REVERSE and the system has detected
a faulted condition, the instrument cluster display will
show a message such as
PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE
WIPE REAR SENSORS orPARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE
SERVICE REQUIRED for approximately five seconds.
Under this condition, Rear ParkSense will not operate.
If “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE WIPE REAR SENSORS”
appears in the instrument cluster display, make sure the
outer surface and the underside of the rear fascia/bumper
is clean and clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt or other obstruc-
tions and then cycle the ignition. if the message continues
to appear, see an authorized dealer.
If “PARKSENSE UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED”
appears in the instrument cluster display, see an autho-
rized dealer.

DRIVING TIPS
On-Road Driving Tips
Utility vehicles have higher ground clearance and a nar-
rower track to make them capable of performing in a wide
variety of off-road applications. Specific design character-
istics give them a higher center of gravity than conven-
tional passenger cars.
An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better
view of the road, allowing you to anticipate problems.
They are not designed for cornering at the same speeds as
conventional passenger cars any more than low-slung
sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily in off-
road conditions. Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers.
