can, it means that the shift lever wasn’t
fully locked into
P

Torque
Lock
If you are parking on a hill and you
don’t shift your transaxle into
P
(Park)
properly, the weight of the vehicle may
put too much force on the parking pawl
in the transaxle. You-may find it
difficult to pull the shift lever out.of
P
(Park). This is called “torque lock.”
To
prevent torque lock, set the parking
brake and then shift into
P
(Park)
properly before you leave the driver’s
seat.
To
find out how, see
Shifting Into.
P
(Park)
in the.Index.
When you are ready to drive; move the
shift lever out of
P
(Park) BEFORE you
release the parking brake.
If
“torque lock” does occur, you may
need to have another vehicle push yours
a little uphill to take some of the
pressure from the transaxle,
so
you can
pull the shift lever out of
P
(Park).
