Leaving Your Vehicle With the Engine Running (Automatic Transmission Models Only) Torque Lock (Automatic Transmission) If you are parking on a hill and you don't shift your transmission into "P" (Park) properly, the weight of the vehicle may put too muchforce on the parking pawl in the transmission. 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 transmission, so you can pull the shift lever out of ' Y ' (Park). 3 31
