AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OPERATION
Brake-shift interlock
This vehicle is  equipped with a  brake-shift interlock feature that  prevents
the gearshift lever  from being moved  from P (Park) when  the ignition is
in the ON  position unless brake  pedal is depressed.
If you cannot  move the gearshift  lever out of P  (Park) with ignition  in
the ON position  and the brake  pedal depressed:
1.
Apply the parking  brake, turn ignition  key to LOCK, then  remove the
key.
2.
Insert the key  and turn it  to OFF.Applythebrakepedalandshift
toN(Neutral).
In the ignition  OFF position, the  automatic transmission shift
lever can be  moved from the  P (Park) position without  the brake
pedal depressed. To  avoid unwanted vehicle  movement, always set the
parking brake.
3.
Start the vehicle.
If it is  necessary to use  the above procedure to  move the gearshift  lever,
it is possible  that a fuse  has blown or the  vehicles brakelamps are  not
operating properly. Refer  toFusesandrelays     in theRoadside
emergencies chapter.
Do not drive  your vehicle until  you verify that the  brakelamps
are working.
If your vehicle  gets stuck in  mud or snow, it  may be rocked  out by
shifting from forward  and reverse gears  while stopping between shifts,  in
a steady pattern.  Press lightly on  the accelerator in each  gear. If
necessary, try turning  the Traction Control௢  system off. This will  allow
the wheels to  spin, which may  help to free your  stuck vehicle. For  more
information, refer toTractionControl(ifequipped)       in this chapter.
