Brake-Shift Interlock
WARNINGS
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.
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: Do not drive your vehicle until you
verify that the brake lamps are working.
Note: See your authorized dealer as soon
as possible if this procedure is used.
Note: For some markets this feature is
disabled.
Your vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift
interlock feature that prevents moving the
transmission 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) 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 304).
If the fuse is not blown and the brake
lamps are working properly, the following
procedure will allow you to move the
gearshift lever from park (P):
1. Apply the parking brake and switch
your ignition off before performing this
procedure.
2. Locate your brake-shift interlock
access slot. The slot is located in your
center console storage bin. The access
slot does not have a label.

3. Using a screwdriver, press and hold the
brake shift interlock switch. The shift
buttons on the instrument panel will
flash when your vehicle is in override
mode.
4. With the override switch still held, put
the transmission selector in neutral
(N).
5. Release the override button.
6. Your vehicle will remain in neutral for
wrecker towing purposes or can be
shifted to the desired gear and driven
(if possible).
7. Release the parking brake.
