Shifting Out of PARK (P)

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

If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure on
the shift lever 

--

 push the shift lever all the way 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 key to the OFF/UNLOCK ignition position.

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

3. Shift to NEUTRAL (N).

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

you want.

5. Take your vehicle to an authorized service center 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.
