The Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) is a park
lock system. The BTSI system prevents the vehicle's transaxle from shifting
out of PARK unless you depress the brake pedal fully. When you depress the
brake pedal, the BTSI electromagnet releases the lock pawl. The released lock
pawl enables the following events to occur:
| • | The shift cable operates. |
When the vehicle requires service, you may override the BTSI system
by turning the ignition lock OFF. Turning the ignition lock OFF causes the
following events to occur:
| • | The battery voltage removes from the electromagnet. |
| • | The electromagnet is left deenergized. |
