Failure to do so may lead to an accident.
To prevent an accident when releasing the shift lock
■
Before pressing the shift lock override button, make sure to set the parking brake
and depress the brake pedal.
If the accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed instead of the brake pedal when
the shift lock override button is pressed and the shift lever is shifted out of P, the
vehicle may suddenly start, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
