Shifting
Out
of
PARK
(P)
(Automatic Transaxle)
Your Oldsmobile
has
a brake-transaxle shift interlock.
You
have
to
apply your regular brake before you can
shift from PARK
(P)
when the ignition
is
in the
RUN
position. See “Automatic Transaxle”
in
the Index.
If you cannot shift out of PARK
(P),
ease pressure on
the shift lever
--
push the shift lever all the way into
PARK
(P)
--
as you maintain brake application. Then
move the shift lever into the gear you wish. (Press the
shift lever button before moving the shift lever.)
If you ever hold the brake pedal down but still can’t
shift lever out of PARK (P), try this:
1,
Remove the ignition key.
2.
There is a small cap
on
the passenger’s side
of
the center console. Gently remove it with a
small screwdriver.
3.
Insert the ignition key into this opening until it contacts
with
a
small paddle.
This
is
the override feature.
4.
While pushing forward on the paddle, press the shift
lever button, then pull the shift lever from PARK (P).
5.
Have the vehicle fixed as soon as
you
can.
Parking Your Vehicle
(Manual Transaxle)
Before you get out of your vehicle, put your manual
transaxle in REVERSE (R) and firmly apply the
parking brake.
If
your vehicle is equipped
to
tow a trailer, see “Towing
a Trailer” in the Index.
