Parking Over Things That Burn - Chevrolet 2007 Silverado 1500 Pickup Owner's Manual

These larger parts may sometimes make a
clunking noise when the selector lever is moved
from DRIVE (D) or REVERSE (R) to PARK (P).
This is normal and there is no damage occurring
during these shifts.
If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure
on the shift lever and push the shift lever all the
way up into PARK (P) as you maintain brake
application. Then, move the shift lever into
the gear you want.
If you ever hold the brake pedal down but still can
not shift out of PARK (P), try this:
1. Turn the key to ACCESSORY. There is no
shift interlock in this key position.
2. Apply and hold the brake until the end of
Step 4.
3. Shift the transmission to NEUTRAL (N).
4. Start the vehicle and then shift to the gear
you want.
5. Have the system fixed as soon as you can.
