SHIFT LEVER OVERRIDE

• If a malfunction occurs and the shift lever

cannot be moved out of the PARK posi-
tion, you can use the following procedure
to temporarily move the shift lever:

• Turn the ignition switch to the OFF posi-

tion.

• Firmly set the parking brake.
• Remove the rubber storage tray liner

from the center console, then lift up the
front of the shift lever bezel, carefully
disengage the bezel from the shift lever
housing, and slide it up to the top of the
shift lever.

• Press and maintain firm pressure on

the brake pedal.

• Insert a small screwdriver or similar tool

down into the access slot at the front of the shift lever assembly, and push and hold the
white override release lever down.

• Move the shift lever into the NEUTRAL position.
• The vehicle may then be started in NEUTRAL.
• Reinstall the shift lever bezel (use care to avoid pinching the wiring), and the rubber

storage tray liner.
