Driving and Operating 9-33
Shifting Out of Park
The vehicle has an electronic shift
lock release system. The shift lock
release is designed to:
.
Prevent ignition key removal
unless the shift lever is in
P (Park) with the shift lever
button fully released.
.
Prevent movement of the shift
lever out of P (Park), unless the
ignition is in ON/RUN and the
regular brake pedal is applied.
The shift lock release is always
functional except in the case of an
uncharged or low voltage (less than
9 volt) battery.
If the vehicle has an uncharged
battery or a battery with low voltage,
try charging or jump starting the
battery. See Jump Starting
on
page 10‑74
for more information.

1. Apply the brake pedal.
2. Press the shift lever button.

desired position.
If you still are unable to shift out of
P (Park):

button.
2. Hold the brake pedal down and
press the shift lever button
again.
3. Move the shift lever to the
desired position.
If you still cannot move the shift
