AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OPERATION

Brake-shift interlock

This vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift interlock feature that prevents

the gearshift lever from being moved from P (Park) when the ignition is

in the ON position unless brake pedal is depressed.

If you cannot move the gearshift lever out of P (Park) with ignition in

the ON position and the brake pedal depressed:

1. Apply the parking brake, turn ignition key to LOCK, then remove the

key.

2. Insert the key and turn it to OFF. Apply the brake pedal and shift

to N (Neutral).

In the ignition OFF position, the automatic transmission shift

lever can be moved from the P (Park) position without the brake

pedal depressed. To avoid unwanted vehicle movement, always set the

parking brake.

3. Start the vehicle.

If it is necessary to use the above procedure to move the gearshift lever,

it is possible that a fuse has blown or the vehicle’s brakelamps are not

operating properly. Refer to Fuses and relays in the Roadside

emergencies chapter.

Do not drive your vehicle until you verify that the brakelamps

are working.

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow, it may be rocked out by

shifting from forward and reverse gears while stopping between shifts, in

a steady pattern. Press lightly on the accelerator in each gear. If

necessary, try turning the Traction Control娂 system off. This will allow

the wheels to spin, which may help to free your stuck vehicle. For more

information, refer to Traction Control娂 (if equipped) in this chapter.

Do not rock the vehicle if the engine is not at normal operating

temperature or damage to the transaxle may occur.

Do not rock the vehicle for more than a few minutes or damage

to the transaxle and tires may occur or the engine may overheat.
