Shifting Out of
PARK
(P)
Your Cadillac has a brake-transaxle shift interlock. You
have to fully
apply
your regular brakes
before
you can
shift from PARK (P) when the ignition is in the RUN
position. See “Automatic Transaxle” in the Index.
If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure
on
the shift lever
--
push the shift lever all the way into
PARK
(P)
and also release the shift lever button on floor
shift models as
you
maintain brake application. Then
move the shift lever into
the
gear you want. (Press the
shift lever button before moving the shift lever.) If you
ever hold the brake pedal down but still can’t shift out of
PARK (P), try this:
1.
Turn the key to
OFF.
Open and close the driver’s
door to turn off the Retained Accessory Power
feature.
2.
Apply and
hold
the brake until
the
end of Step
4.
3.
Shift to NEUTRAL
(N).
4.
Start the vehicle and then shift to the drive gear
you want.
5.
Have the vehicle fixed as soon as you can.
Parking
Over
Things That
Burn
Things that can burn could touch hot exhaust
parts under your vehicle and ignite. Don’t park
over papers, leaves, dry grass or other things that
can burn.
