Shifting Out Of Park - Chevrolet 2010 Aveo Series Owner's Manual

Shifting Out of Park

Vehicles with an automatic transmission have a shift
interlock system. You have to apply the brake pedal
before you can shift from P (Park) when the ignition is in
the ON/RUN position. See Automatic Transmission
Operation on page 3 23.
If you cannot shift out of P (Park) while holding the
brake pedal down, try this:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition off and remove the key.
3. Remove the hole cover from the shift lock slot by
prying it off using a small, flat object. The shift lock
release slot is located at the top of the shift lever.

the parking brake.
