Shifting Out Of Park (P); Parking Over Things That Burn - Cadillac 2007 DTS Owner's Manual

Shifting Out of Park (P)

Your vehicle has an automatic transaxle shift lock
control system. You have to fully apply your
regular brakes before you can shift from PARK (P)
when the ignition is RUN. See Automatic
Transaxle Operation on page 118.
The shift lock control system is designed to do the
following:
•
Prevent the ignition key from being removed
unless the shift lever is in PARK (P).
•
Prevent movement of the console shift lever
out of PARK (P) unless the ignition is in a
position other than OFF.
The shift lock control system is always functional
except in the case of a dead battery or low
voltage (less than 9 V) battery.
If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease the
pressure on the shift lever. Push the shift lever all
the way into PARK (P) as you maintain brake
application. Then move the shift lever into the gear
you want.
If you are still having a problem shifting, then have
your vehicle serviced soon.

Parking Over Things That Burn

CAUTION:
{
Things that can burn could touch hot
exhaust parts under your vehicle and
ignite. Do not park over papers, leaves,
dry grass, or other things that can burn.
