SHIFT LEVER OVERRIDE

• If a malfunction occurs and the shift lever cannot be moved out of the PARK position, you can

use the following procedure to temporarily move the shift lever:

1. Turn the engine OFF.

2. Firmly apply the parking brake.

3. Remove the rubber cupholder liner. Squeeze one side of the liner’s center to expose its edge

and facilitate removal.

4. Turn the ignition to the ACC or ON/RUN position, but do not start the engine.

5. Press and maintain firm pressure on the brake pedal.

6. Insert a screwdriver or similar tool into the access hole (at the front of the cupholder) and push

and hold the override release lever forward.

7. Move the shift lever to the NEUTRAL position.

8. The vehicle may then be started in NEUTRAL.

9. Reinstall the cupholder liner.
