Shifting Out Of Park (P) - Chevrolet Tracker 2003 Owner's Manual

Shifting Out of Park (P)

Your vehicle has an automatic transmission shift lock
control system. You have to fully apply your regular
brakes before you can shift from PARK (P) when
the ignition is in the ON position. See Automatic
Transmission Operation on page 2-19 .
If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure on
the shift lever – push the shift lever all the way into
PARK (P) and release the shift lever button as
you maintain brake application. Then press the shift
lever button and move the shift lever into the gear you
wish to be in.
