Brake-Shift Interlock

WARNINGS
Do not drive your vehicle until you
verify that the brake lamps are
working.
This procedure requires you to shift
the gearshift lever out of park (P)
causing your vehicle to roll. Make
sure you fully set the parking brake before
attempting to shift the gearshift lever out
of park (P).
If you release the parking brake and
the brake warning lamp remains
illuminated, the brakes may not be
working correctly. The system has
detected a fault that requires service.
Your vehicle has a brake-shift interlock
feature. This prevents you from shifting the
gearshift lever from the park (P) position,
unless the brake pedal is pressed.
In the event of an electrical malfunction,
or if the vehicle battery has run out of
charge, use the following procedure to shift
the gearshift lever from the park (P)
position.
1. Apply the parking brake and switch the
ignition off.
