Shift-Lock System

The shift-lock system prevents shifting
out of P unless the brake pedal is
depressed.

To shift from P:

1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.

2. Start the engine.

3. Move the shift lever.

NOTE

l

When the ignition switch is in the
LOCK position, the shift lever
cannot be shifted from P.

l

If the brake is pumped with the shift
lever in P, a chattering near the shift
lever may be heard. This does not
indicate an abnormality.

l

To be sure the vehicle is in park,

the

ignition key cannot be removed
unless the shift lever is in P.

q

Shift-Lock Override

If the shift lever won't move from P using
the proper shift procedure, continue to
hold down the pedal.

1. Remove the shift-lock override cover

with a screwdriver or similar tool.

2. Push the shift-lock override button

down.

Overdrive

Overdrive operation

In D, the transaxle automatically shifts to
overdrive, which improves fuel economy
and reduces noise.

To allow engine braking when going
down a steep grade, make sure the
overdrive button is in the off position.
