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

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

When the key  is 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.
Always set the  parking brake fully  and make sure the  gearshift is
latched in P  (Park). Turn the  ignition to the LOCK  position and
remove the key  whenever you leave  your vehicle.
If the parking  brake is fully  released, but the brake  warning lamp
remains illuminated, the  brakes may not  be working properly.
