Starting and Operating Instructions
If you must leave your vehicle with
the engine running, check that the
shift lever is fully in P (Park). To do
this, hold the regular brake pedal
down after you have shifted into P
(Park) and try to move the shift
lever out of the Park position without
first pushing the button. If you
can, then the shift lever was not
locked in Park.
Be sure the shift lever is in P (Park)
and the parking brake is firmly
applied when you leave your
vehicle.
Shifting Out of P (Park)
Your vehicle has an automatic
transmission shift lock control
system. With the engine running
or the ignition in accessory mode,
you have to fully apply the regular
brakes before you can shift out of
P (Park).
The shift lock control system may
not operate if your vehicle has a
dead or low-voltage battery.
If the vehicle's battery is dead,
jump start the vehicle. See "Jump
Starting" in Section 5.
If you cannot shift out of P (Park),
maintain brake application while
you do the following:
1. Release the button on the shift
lever.
2. Press the button on the shift
lever again.
3. Try to shift out of P (Park), into
the gear you want.
If the problem persists, see your
dealer for service.
If you need to have your vehicle
towed, see "Towing" in Section 5
for vehicle towing information.
