WARNING: Do not drive your
vehicle until you verify that the

on position and the brake pedal pressed,
a malfunction may have occurred. It is
possible that a fuse has blown or your
vehicle s brake lamps are not operating
properly. See Fuse Specification Chart
(page 71).

lamps are working properly, the following
procedure can allow you to move the
gearshift lever from park (P):

Apply the parking brake. Turn key to
the lock position, and then remove the
key.
2. Disconnect the negative black battery
cable from the battery.
