If you exceed the maximum speed
for the gear you are in, the engine
speed will enter into the tachometer’s
red zone. If this occurs, you may feel
the engine cut in and out. This is
caused by a limiter in the engine’s
computer controls. The engine will
run normally when you reduce the
rpm below the red zone.
Put a cloth on the notch of the
shift lock release slot cover. Using
a small flat-tipped screwdriver or a
metal fingernail file, carefully pry
on the notch of the cover to
remove it.
This allows you to move the shift
lever out of Park if the normal
method of pushing on the brake
pedal does not work. This procedure
is also used to release the reverse
lockout.
Set the parking brake.
Remove the key from the ignition
switch.
To release the reverse lockout, make
sure the ignition switch is in the
ACCESSORY(I) position.
Before downshifting, make sure the
engine will not go into the
tachometer’s red zone.
