Shifting Out of Park (P)

Your vehicle has an automatic transaxle shiftlock control
system which locks the shift lever in PARK (P) when
the ignition is in the OFF position. In addition, you have
to fully apply the regular brakes before you can shift
from PARK (P) when the ignition is in RUN. See
Automatic Transaxle Operation on page 2-23.

If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure on
the shift lever and push the shift lever all the way up into
PARK (P) as you maintain brake application. Then
move the shift lever into the gear you want.

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 ACCESSORY. There is no

shift interlock in this key position.

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

3. Shift the transaxle to NEUTRAL (N).

4. Start the vehicle and then shift to the drive gear

you want.

5. Have the system 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.
