2006 Cadillac CTS CTS-V Owners Manual

Leaving Your Vehicle With the  Engine
Running (Automatic Transmission)
Torque Lock (Automatic Transmission)
If you are parking on  a hill and you do not shift your
transmission into PARK (P) properly, the  weight of the
vehicle may put too much  force on the parking pawl
in the transmission.  You may find it difficult  to pull the
shift lever out of PARK (P). This  is called “torque
lock.” To prevent torque lock,  set the parking brake and
then shift into PARK (P) properly before  you leave
the driver’s seat.  To find out how, see  “Shifting
Into PARK (P)” listed previously.
{
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to  leave your vehicle with
the engine running. Your vehicle  could move
suddenly if the shift lever  is not fully in
PARK (P) with the parking brake firmly  set.
And, if you leave the  vehicle with the engine
running, it could overheat and  even catch fire.
You or others could be  injured. Do not leave
your vehicle with the engine  running.
If torque lock does occur,  you may need to have
another vehicle push yours a  little uphill to take some of
the pressure from the parking pawl in the transmission,
so you can pull the  shift lever out of PARK (P).
If you have to leave  your vehicle with the engine
running, be sure your vehicle  is in PARK (P) and your
parking brake is  firmly set before you leave  it. After you
have moved the shift lever  into PARK (P), hold the
regular brake pedal down. Then,  see if you can move
the shift lever away from  PARK (P) without first pushing
the button on the shift  lever. If you can, it means that
the shift lever was not  fully locked into PARK (P).
