This allows you to move the shift
lever out of Park if the normal
method of pushing on the brake
pedal and pressing the release
button does not work.
Remove the key from the ignition
switch.
Set the parking brake.
Put a cloth on the notch of the
shift lock release slot cover to
prevent scratches. Using a small
flat-tip screwdriver or a metal
fingernail file, carefully pry on the
notch of the cover to remove it.
Insert the key in the shift lock
release slot.
Push down on the key while you
press the release button on the
shift lever and move the shift lever
out of Park to neutral.
Remove the key from the shift
lock release slot, then reinstall the
cover. Make sure the notch on the
cover is on the left side. Press the
brake pedal, and restart the engine.
If you need to use the shift lock
release, it means your vehicle is
developing a problem. Have it
checked by your dealer.
