Your vehicle has an automatic transaxle shift lock
control system. You have to fully
apply
your regular
brakes
before
you can shift from PARK (P), when
the ignition is in ON.
As you step on the brake pedal, while in PARK (P), you
may hear a click from the solenoid of the system.
This ensures that the system is operating properly. See

If you cannot shift out of PARK
(P),
ease pressure on
the shift lever by pushing the shift lever all the way into
PARK (P) as you maintain brake application. Then
move the shift lever into the gear you want.
If
you ever
hold the brake pedal down but still can’t shift out of
PARK (P), try this:
1.
Turn the ignition key to
OFF.

Apply and hold the brake until the end of Step
