Ignition key interlock system
The ignition key cannot be removed
unless the shift lever is in the P (Park)
position.
For your safety, the Intelligent variable
transmission has a shift-lock system
which prevents shifting the transmission

brake pedal is depressed...
Always come to a complete stop and
continue to depress the brake pedal.
Move the shift lever into the P (Park)
position, apply the parking brake, and
place the ignition switch in the LOCK/
OFF position...
