For cars with center console mounted gear shift levers,
the second access slot is located on the right hand side
of the console shift panel, next to the shift lever.
Insert a screwdriver into the slot. Pry the cap open using
the
screwdriver. Be careful not to damage the cap. Press
down and hold. You will now be able to shift your
vehicle out of PARK (P).
Performance Shifting (If Equipped)
Press the performance shift
button, located on the side
of the console shift knob,
to allow the transaxle to
shift at higher engine
speeds, increasing
acceleration performance.
If you have a vehicle with the option 3800 Supercharged
engine,
the words
"Performance Shift" will glow in
the
trip computer when the Performance Shift is in operation.
Downshifts will occur at a lower percentage of
accelerator use while you're in the performance
shift mode.
Press the button again to return to normal shifting. The
transaxle will then shift at lower engine speeds,
increasing fuel economy.
