If your charge cord is not connected and there is not a fault with the
associated electrical system, the fuse is not blown and the brake lamps
are working properly, the following procedure will allow you to move the
gearshift lever from P (Park):

1. Apply the parking brake, turn the
ignition key to the off position and
remove the key.

2. Using a screwdriver (or similar tool),
carefully pry off and remove the
passenger side access cover. Remove the
fastener, then remove the console side
panel to expose the inside of the shifter
assembly.

3. Locate the brake shift interlock
lever on the passenger side of the
shifter assembly.

4. Apply the brake pedal. Using a
screwdriver (or similar tool), press
and hold the white brake shift
interlock lever forward while pulling
the gearshift lever out of the P
(Park) position and into the N
(Neutral) position.

5. Reinstall the console side panel and attach the fastener.

6. Reinstall the access cover.

7. Apply the brake pedal, start the vehicle and release the parking brake.

See your authorized dealer as soon as possible if this procedure
is used.

WARNING: Do not drive your vehicle until you verify that the
brake lamps are working.

WARNING: When doing this procedure, you will be taking the
vehicle out of park which means the vehicle can roll freely. To

avoid unwanted vehicle movement, always fully set the parking brake
prior to doing this procedure. Use wheel chocks if appropriate.
