If you cannot move the gearshift lever out of P (Park) with ignition in
the on position and the brake pedal depressed, it is possible that a fuse
has blown or the vehicle’s brakelamps are not operating properly. Refer
to

Fuses and relays

in the

Roadside Emergencies

chapter.

If the fuse is not blown, perform the following procedure:

1. Apply the parking brake, turn the ignition to off, then remove the

key.

2. Using a screwdriver or similar

tool, carefully pry out the small
Brake Transmission Shift
Interlock (BTSI) cover cap
located to the right of the
gearshift lever.

3. Insert a screwdriver or similar

tool straight down into the
access hole and press downward
while pulling the gearshift lever
out of the P (Park) position and
into the N (Neutral) position.

4. Remove tool and reinstall the BTSI cover cap.
5. Start the vehicle and release the parking brake.

WARNING:

Do not drive your vehicle until you verify that the

brakelamps are working.

WARNING:

Always set the parking brake fully and make sure

the gearshift is latched in P (Park). Turn the ignition to the off

position and remove the key whenever you leave your vehicle.

WARNING:

If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake

warning lamp remains illuminated, the brakes may not be

working properly. Drive slowly and carefully to your authorized dealer.
