WARNING
If the shift lever won’t move from P with
the brake pedal depressed, continue to
hold down the pedal.
Sudden Engine-Braking:
Shifting down while driving on wet,
snowy, or frozen roads, or driving at
high speeds causes sudden engine
braking, which is dangerous. The
sudden change in tire speed could
cause the tires to skid. This could lead
to loss of vehicle control and an
accident. Do not cause sudden engine
braking on slippery road surfaces or
at high speeds.
1.
Remove the shift-lock override cover
with a screwdriver.
2.
Insert a screwdriver and push it down.
wShift-Lock System

lever may be heard. Don’t worry,
this is a normal sound.
