Shift Lock Release
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.
1. Set the Parking brake.
2. Remove the key from the ignition
switch.
3. Place a cloth on the edge of the
shift lock release slot cover on the
steering column. Remove the
cover by carefully prying on the
edge with a small flat-tipped
screwdriver (not included in the
tool kit).
4. Insert the key in the Shift Lock
Release slot on the steering
column.
5. Push down on the key while you
pull the shift lever towards you
and move it out of Park to Neutral.
SHIFT LOCK RELEASE SLOT
6. Remove the key from the Shift
Lock Release slot, then reinstall
the cover.
Depress 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 Honda
dealer.
