disengaged manually.

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Hold the brake pedal down. Apply the
parking brake.
3. Remove the cover on the console.
4. Insert and push the key into the slot.
5. Move the shift lever out of P (Park).
If P (Park) is selected again after the key
is removed from the slot, the shift lever
will be locked again.

your dealer.
