directly below the arrow symbol
located to the right of the gearshift
at the base of the console.

rearward.
5. Push and hold the thumb button
and move the gearshift.
6. Remove the screwdriver when
the gearshift moves from the P
(Park) position.
This procedure may have to be

placed in park until repairs are
completed.
The brakeĆshift interlock

further enhance the safety of
vehicle occupants when the
vehicle is placed into gear. To

feature, have any repairs
completed promptly.
The consoleĆmounted gearshift will
lock when you turn the key to the
lock position. When the gearshift is

P (Park).
Once the gearshift is secure in the
