Shiftlock

When your vehicle is parked, the gear selector is locked in the P (Park) position. To release the selector from this position, the ignition must be in mode II (see page 82) or the engine must be running. Depress the brake pedal, press the button on the front side of the gear selector and move the selector from P (Park).

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

The ABS system performs a brief self-diagnostic test when the engine has been started and driver releases the brake pedal. Another automatic test may be performed when the vehicle first reaches a speed of approximately 6 mph (10 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 cap

The fuel filler door, located on the right rear quarter panel, is connected to your vehicle's central locking system.
