Driving and Operating

done properly; then it is difficult to
shift out of P (Park). To prevent
torque lock, set the parking brake
and then shift into P (Park). To find
out how, see

Shifting Into Park

If torque lock does occur, the
vehicle may need to be pushed
uphill by another vehicle to relieve
the parking pawl pressure, so you
can shift out of P (Park).

Shifting out of Park

electronic shift lock release system.
The shift lock release is
designed to:

Prevent ignition key removal

P (Park) with the shift lever
button fully released.

.

Prevent movement of the shift
lever out of P (Park) unless the
ignition is in ON/RUN and the
brake pedal is applied.

The shift lock release is always
functional except in the case of an
uncharged or low voltage (less than
9-volt) battery.

If the vehicle has an uncharged
battery or a battery with low voltage,
try charging or jump starting the
battery. See
