Remove the screwdriver from the
shift lock release slot, then
reinstall the cover. Make sure the
notch on the cover is on the right
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 the
vehicle checked by your dealer.
Set the parking brake.
Insert a flat-tipped screwdriver
into the shift lock release slot.
Push down on the screwdriver and
move the shift lever out of Park to
neutral.
This allows you to move the shift
lever out of Park if the normal
method of pushing on the brake
pedal does not work. This procedure
is also used to release the reverse
lockout.
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
metal fingernail file, carefully pry
on the edge of the cover to remove
it. 6.
