WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES SHIFT LEVER OVERRIDE • If a malfunction occurs and the shift lever cannot be moved out of the PARK position, you can use the following procedure to temporarily move the shift lever: • Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. • Firmly set the parking brake. • Remove the rubber storage tray liner from the center console, then lift up the front of the shift lever bezel, carefully disengage the bezel from the shift lever housing, and slide it up to the top of the shift lever. • Press and maintain firm pressure on the brake pedal. • Insert a small screwdriver or similar tool down into the access slot at the front of the shift lever assembly, and push and hold the white override release lever down. • Move the shift lever into the NEUTRAL position. • The vehicle may then be started in NEUTRAL. • Reinstall the shift lever bezel (use care to avoid pinching the wiring), and the rubber storage tray liner.
