See your authorized dealer for proper driveshaft removal and reinstallation procedures, including flange orientation/alignment, use of thread-locking compound, proper bolt torque specifications, etc. • The manual override may be used in the event that the shift lever should fail to move from PARK with the Key Fob in the ON position and the brake pedal pressed. • To operate the shift lock manual override, perform the following steps: 44
