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 OFF position, the automatic transmission shift lever can

be moved from the P (Park) position without the brake pedal

depressed. To avoid unwanted 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, stopping between shifts, in a

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

Do not rock the vehicle for more than a few minutes. The

transmission and tires may be damaged or the engine may

overheat.

Always set the parking brake fully and make sure the gearshift is

latched in P (Park). Turn the ignition to the LOCK position and

remove the key whenever you leave your vehicle.

If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake warning lamp

remains illuminated, the brakes may not be working properly.

See your dealer or a qualified service technician.
