Brake-Shift Interlock
WARNING: When doing this
procedure, you need to take the
transmission out of park (P) which
means your vehicle can roll freely. To
avoid unwanted vehicle movement,
always fully apply the parking brake prior
to doing this procedure. Use wheels
chocks if appropriate.
WARNING: If the parking brake is
fully released, but the brake warning
lamp remains illuminated, the brakes
may not be working properly. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Note: You should only use this procedure
in the event that your vehicle is disabled and
you cannot start the engine in order to shift
into Neutral (N) to move it. Use the provided
Transmission Park Override tool to release
the transmission park mechanism and allow
the rear tires to roll freely.
Note: See your authorized dealer as soon
as this procedure is used.
Note: Do not drive your vehicle until you
verify that the brake lamps are working.
Your vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift
interlock feature that prevents moving the
selector from park (P) when the ignition is
in the on position and the brake pedal is
not pressed.
If you cannot move the selector out of park
(P) position with the ignition in the on
position and the brake pedal pressed, a
malfunction may have occurred. It is
possible that a fuse has blown or your
vehicle’s brake lamps are not operating
properly. See Fuse Specification Chart
(page 139).
If the fuse is good and the brake lamps are
functioning, then there may be a fault in
the system. To roll the car or to allow the
vehicle to be transported for repair, use the
following procedure to place the
transmission into neutral (N) manually. To
place the transmission into neutral (N) in
the event of a battery failure, or other
electrical fault that prevents the shifter
from working, use this procedure.
Manually Placing the Transmission in
Park Override
The transmission park override tool is in
the storage compartment under the rear
hatch.
It requires two people to perform this
procedure properly. One person seated in
the driver's seat, that must remain in
control of vehicle steering, brakes and
parking brake at all times. For instructions
on releasing the parking brake in the event
of a loss of vehicle battery power. See
Electric Parking Brake (page 106). If you
do not have battery power, chock the
wheels so the car does not roll forward or
backward when not intended.
