Torque Lock
T
orque lock is when the weight of the vehicle
puts too much force on the parking pawl in the
transmission. This happens when parking on
a hill and shifting the transmission into P (Park)
is not done properly and then it is difficult to
shift out of P (Park). To prevent torque lock, set
the parking brake and then shift into P(Park).

If torque lock does occur, the vehicle may need
to be pushed uphill by another vehicle to relieve
the parking pawl pressure, so you can shift out
of P(Park).
