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

Shifting Out of Park (P)

Your vehicle has an automatic transaxle shift lock
control system. You must fully apply your
regular brakes before you can shift from PARK (P)
when the ignition is in RUN. See Automatic
Transaxle Operation on page 113.
If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure
on the shift lever by pushing it all the way into
PARK (P) while keeping the brake pedal pushed
down. Release the shift lever button if you
have a console shift. Then move the shift lever out
of PARK (P), being sure to press the shift lever
button if you have a console shift.
If you ever hold the brake pedal down but still
cannot shift out of PARK (P), try this:
1. Turn the ignition key to RUN.
2. Apply and hold the brake pedal down until the
end of Step 4.
3. Shift to NEUTRAL.
4. Start the engine and shift to the drive gear
you want.
5. Have the vehicle fixed as soon as you can.
