"Watch for traffic" warning mes-
sage appears on the cluster and a

tem, press the Electronic child safe-
ty lock switch again with the ignition
switch in the ON position or after

When the power is supplied again after removing the battery or bat-
tery discharge while the child safe-
ty lock is in the lock position, press

again to match the state of the indi-
cator on the child safety lock switch
