This allows you to move the shift
lever out of Park if the normal
method of pushing on the brake
pedal and pulling the shift lever does
not work.
Push down on the key while you
pull the shift lever towards you
and move it 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 instrument panel
side. Press the brake pedal, and
restart the engine.
Set the parking brake.
Remove the key from the ignition
switch.
Put a cloth on the edge of the shift
lock release slot cover. Using a
small flat-tipped screwdriver or a
metal fingernail file, carefully pry
on the edge of the cover to remove
it.
Insert a key into the shift lock
release slot.
If you need to use the shift lock
release, it means your vehicle is
developing a problem. Have it
checked by your dealer.
