I
Torque
Lock
If you are parking on a hill and you don’t shift
your
transaxle into
T“
(Park) properly, the weight of the
vehicle may put too much force on the parking pawl in
the transmission. You may find it difficult to pull the
shift lever out of “P” (Park). This is called “torque
lock.” To prevent torque lock,. set the parking brake and
then shift into
7‘“
(Park) properly before you leave the
.driver’s seat. To find out
how,
see “Shifting Into ‘P’
(Park)” in the Index.
When you are ready to drive, move the shift lever out of
“P’,
(Park)
BEFORE
you release the parking brake.
If “torque lock” does occur, you may need to have
another vehicle push yours a little uphill to take some of
the pressure from the transaxle,
so
you can pull the shift
lever out
of
T“
(Park).
