Shift Lock System
For your safety, the Automatic
Transmission has a shift lock system
which prevents shifting the transmis-
sion out of P (Park) unless the brake
pedal is depressed.
To shift the transmission out of P
(Park):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or turn the ignition
to the ON position.
3. Depress the lock release button
and move the shift lever.
When the ignition switch is in the
ACC or LOCK position, the transmis-
sion cannot be shifted from P (Park).
If the brake pedal is repeatedly
depressed and released with the shift
lever in the P (Park) position, a chat-
tering noise near the shift lever may
be heard. This is a normal condition.
Also, the ignition key cannot be
removed unless the shift lever is in
the P (Park) position. If the ignition
switch is in any other position, the key
cannot be removed.
Transmission Ranges
O/D (OverDrive) System
Pressing the O/D system button can-
cels and engages the overdrive sys-
tem. When the O/D system is can-
celled (button is pressed), the O/D
OFF indicator illuminates and the
transmission gear range is limited to
1st through 3rd. The transmission will
not shift to 4th gear until the O/D sys-
tem button is pressed again to
release the switch.
