Removal
Procedures for removing your key from
the ignition will vary, depending on the
type of ignition your vehicle has. Gear-
shift selector levers may be mounted
on the steering column or on the floor
console.
If the vehicle’s gearshift selector lever
is mounted on the column:
1. Put the gearshift selector lever in
P (Park).
2. Set the parking brake fully before
removing your foot from the service
brake.
(This will avoid ‘
‘binding’’
or
‘‘loading’’ the park gear if you park
on a grade.)
3. Turn the ignition key to LOCK.
4. Remove the key.
