Shift Lock Manual Release
The automatic transmission has an
electric park lock. The key must be
in the ON/RUN position, and the
brake pedal pressed so the shift
lever can be moved from the
P (Park) position. If the battery has
lost power, the shift lever cannot
be moved from P (Park) unless
the shift lock manual release is
disengaged manually.
To access the shift lock manual
release:
1. Apply the park brake.
2. Open the cover to the right of
the shift lever.
3. Insert a tool into the opening as
far as it will go and move the
shift lever out of P (Park).
If P (Park) is selected again,
the shift lever will be locked
again. Have the cause of the
problem fixed by your dealer.
4. Close the cover.
