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 OFF. Open and close the driver’s

door to turn off the RAP feature.

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. 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.
