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.
Set the Parking brake.
Remove the key from the ignition
switch.
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 the
vehicle checked by a Honda dealer.
Put a cloth on the edge of the Shift
Lock Release slot cover. Using a
small flat-tipped screwdriver or
small metal plate, carefully pry on
the edge of the cover to remove it.
