Shifting Out of PARK (P)

Your vehicle has an automatic transaxle shiftlock 
control system. You must fully apply your regular
brakes before you can shift from PARK (P) when the
ignition is in RUN. See “Automatic Transaxle
Operation” in the Index.

If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure on
the shift lever by pushing it all the way into PARK (P)
while keeping the brake pedal pushed down. Then move
the shift lever out of PARK (P).

If you ever hold the brake pedal down but still can’t
shift out of PARK (P), try this:

1. Turn the ignition key to OFF.

2. Apply and hold the brake until the end of Step 4.

3. Shift to NEUTRAL (N).

4. Start the engine and shift to the drive gear you want.

5. Have the vehicle fixed as soon as you can.

Parking Over Things That Burn

CAUTION:

Things that can burn could touch hot exhaust
parts under your vehicle and ignite. Don’t park
over papers, leaves, dry grass or other things that
can burn.
