prevents you from shifting out of P (Park) without the brake

position, the ignition must be in the ON position and your foot
must be pressing on the brake pedal.
If the shift lever cannot be moved from the P (Park) position
with the brake pedal depressed:
Shut the engine off and remove the ignition key.
1.
Apply the parking brake.
2.
Reinsert the ignition key and turn it to the first position

(Neutral) and start the engine.
If you need to shift out of P (Park) by using the alternate
procedure described above, it is possible that a fuse has blown
and that your brakelamps may also not be functional. Please
refer to the chapter titled Roadside Emergencies in this Owner
Guide for instructions on checking and replacing fuses.
DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE UNTIL YOU VERIFY
THAT THE BRAKELAMPS ARE WORKING.
