Vehicle Shutdown; Shifting Out Of Park (P) - Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell Owner's Manual

Torque Lock
If you are parking on a hill and you do not shift your
drive unit into PARK (P) properly, the weight of
the vehicle may put too much force on the parking pawl
in the drive unit. You may find it difficult to pull the
shift lever out of PARK (P). This is called "torque lock."
To prevent torque lock, set the parking brake and
then shift into PARK (P) properly before you leave the
driver's seat. To find out how, see Shifting Into PARK (P)
on page 2-17.
When you are ready to drive, move the shift lever out of
PARK (P) before you release the parking brake.
If torque lock does occur, contact OnStar
Driver Relationship Manager (DRM).

Vehicle Shutdown

page 2-16. Move the shift lever to Park (P).
2. Turn the key to "SYSTEM OFF/STEERING
LOCKED" and remove the key.
The fuel cell system may run for several minutes after

system.
