Shiftlock (automatic transmission) When your vehicle is parked, the gear selector is locked in the P (Park) position. To release the selector from this position, turn the ignition key to position II (or start the engine), depress the brake pedal, press the button on the front side of the gear selector and move the selector from P (Park).

Keylock (automatic transmission) When you switch off the ignition, the gear selector must be in the P (Park) position before the remote key can be removed from the igni- tion switch.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) The ABS system in your vehicle performs a self-diagnostic test when the vehicle first rea- ches the speed of approximately 12 mph (20 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the ABS control module. This is normal.

Fuel filler door Press the button on the light switch panel (see the illustration on page 67) when the vehicle is at a standstill to unlock the fuel filler door. Please note that the fuel filler door will remain unlocked until the vehicle begins to move for- ward. An audible click will be heard when the fuel filler door relocks.
