attained, ease up on the accelerator -

working on the vehicle with the engine
running, firmly depress the parking
brake pedal and shift the selector lever

locked while in position "P". To move
the selector lever out of position "P",
the service brake pedal must be firmly
depressed before the shift lock will
release.
Important!
After selecting any driving position
from "N" or "P", wait a moment to
allow the gear to fully engage before
accelerating, especially when the
engine is cold.
