Shifting Out Of Park (P); Parking Over Things That Burn - Chevrolet Silverado 2007 Owner's Manual

If torque lock does occur, you may need to
have another vehicle push yours a little uphill to
take some of the pressure from the parking pawl
in the transmission, then you will be able to
pull the shift lever out of PARK (P).

Shifting Out of Park (P)

Your vehicle has an automatic transmission shift
lock control system which locks the shift lever
in PARK (P) when the ignition is in the LOCK.
Apply your regular brakes before shifting
from PARK (P) when the ignition is in RUN. See
Automatic Transmission Operation on page 146.
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 the brake application is
maintained. Move the shift lever into another gear.
