AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OPERATION (IF EQUIPPED)
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 the 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.
When the key is in the ignition and in the 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.
2.
Using a screwdriver (or similar
tool) , remove the protective cover
to the interlock access hole on the
console. Insert the key to release
the interlock.
3.
4.
Apply the parking brake, then shift to N (Neutral) .
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 vehicle’s brakelamps are not
operating properly. Refer to Fu ses and rela ys in the Roadside
Emergen cies chapter.
