Brake Transmission Shift Interlock System (BTSI)
This vehicle is equipped with a brake transmission shift
interlock system (BTSI) that holds the gearshift lever in
the P (Park) position when the ignition switch is in an
unlocked position. To move the gear selector lever out of
the P (Park) position, the ignition switch must be turned
to the OFF, ON, or START position, the brake pedal and
the button on the front side of the shifter handle must be
depressed.
Electronically Controlled Five Speed Automatic
Transmission (4.7L Engine Only)
This electronically controlled transmission provides a
precise shift schedule. The transmission electronics are
self calibrating; therefore, the first few shifts on a new
vehicle may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal
condition, and precision shifts will develop within a
couple hundred miles (kilometers).
Protect Mode - Electronically Controlled
Transmission (4.7L Engine Only)
This transmission is monitored electronically for abnor-
mal conditions. If an abnormal condition is detected, the
transmission's electronic controller will automatically
select direct gear (in the Drive position) or 2nd gear (in
the 2 or 1 position). This feature will allow the vehicle to
be driven to the dealer for service minimizing any
damage to the transmission. Some conditions that will
cause the transmission to use this alternate gear selection
are momentary and the transmission can be reset to the
normal shift program by performing the following:
²Stop the vehicle and shift into P (Park).
²Turn the ignition key to the OFF position and then
restart the engine.
²Shift into the desire shift range and resume driving.

NOTE:Even if the transmission can be reset, it is
recommend that you see your dealer at your earliest
possible convenience. Your dealer has the proper diag-
nostic equipment to determine if the problem could
recur. If the transmission is cannot be reset, dealer service
is required.
Gear Ranges
DO NOT race the engine when shifting from P (Park) or
N (Neutral) position into another gear range.
PÐPark
Supplements the parking brake by locking the transmis-
sion. The engine can be started in this range. Never use P
(Park) while the vehicle is in motion. Apply the parking
brake when leaving the vehicle in this range. Always
apply the parking brake first, then place the selector in P
(Park) position.
WARNING!
Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure
those in and near the vehicle. As with all vehicles,
you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is
running. Before exiting a vehicle, you should always
shift the vehicle into P (Park), remove the key from
the ignition, and apply the parking brake. Once the
key is removed from the ignition, the transmission
shift lever is locked in the P (Park) position, securing
the vehicle against unwanted movement. Further-
more, you should never leave children unattended
inside a vehicle.
The following indicators should be used to ensure that
you have engaged the transmission shift lever into the P
(Park) position:
