STARTING AND OPERATING
221
If there is a  need to restart  you r engine  be sure  to cycle
the key  to the  LOCK position   before restarting.   Trans-
mission  engagem ent  may be  delayed  up  to 10 second s
after  restart   if  the   key  is  not   cycled  to  the   LOCK
position  first.
The  selector  lever  is  autom atically   locked  while  in  the
PARK  position.   To move   the  selector   lever  out   of the
PARK position,  the brake  pedal  must be  firm ly depressed
before  the shift  lock  will release.
Shift the  selector  lever to  the desired   position  only  when
the  engine   is  idling   norm ally  and   the  brake   pedal   is
applied.  Do not  release the brake  until  read y to drive. The
vehicle  may otherw  ise accelerate  quickly  when  the selec-
tor  lever is  in DRIVE or  REVERSE position.
The  electronically  controlled   transm  ission  provid es a
precise  shift sched ule. The  transm ission electronics  are
self-calibrating.   Therefore, the  first few  shifts on a  new
vehicle  may be som ewhat  abru pt or  soft until  after the
break-in  period  . This is  a norm al  cond ition,  and  pre-
cision  shifts will  develop   within  a few  shift  cycles.

mission  heat  build-up.
