If torque lock does occur, you may
need to have another vehicle push
yours a little uphill to take some of
the pressure from the parking pawl
in the transmission, so you can pull
the shift lever out of P (Park).
Shifting out of Park
The vehicle has an automatic
transmission shift lock control
system. You have to fully apply the
brakes before you can shift from
P (Park) when the ignition is in
ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY.
See Automatic Transmission
(Six Speed) on page 9‑25 or
Automatic Transmission
(Four Speed) on page 9‑28.
The shift lock control system is
designed to do the following:
. Prevent the ignition key from
being removed unless the shift
lever is in P (Park).
. Prevent movement of the shift
lever out of P (Park), unless
the ignition is in ON/RUN or
ACC/ACCESSORY and the
regular brake pedal is applied.
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 the vehicle has an uncharged
battery or a battery with low voltage,
try charging or jump starting the
battery. See Jump Starting on
page 10‑88 for more information.
To shift out of P (Park) use
the following:
1. Apply the brake pedal.
2. Turn the ignition to ACC/
ACCESSORY or ON/RUN.
3. Move the shift lever to the
desired position.
If you still are unable to shift out of
P (Park):
1. Ease the pressure on the
shift lever.
2. While holding down the brake
pedal, push the shift lever all
the way into P (Park).
3. Move the shift lever to the
desired position.
If you are still having a problem
shifting, have the vehicle serviced.
