Transmission Note: Engine damage may occur if excessive engine revving is held without shifting. 165 Note: Some models have a blink feature (if equipped). If manually selecting a gear that is out of the current vehicle speed range, the vehicle will not make the requested shift and will blink the current gear. Brake-shift interlock WARNING: Do not drive your vehicle until you verify that the brakelamps are working. WARNING: When doing this procedure, you will be taking the vehicle out of park which means the vehicle can roll freely. To avoid unwanted vehicle movement, always fully set the parking brake prior to doing this procedure. Use wheel chocks if appropriate. WARNING: If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake warning lamp remains illuminated, the brakes may not be working properly. Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the system serviced immediately. This vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift interlock feature that prevents the gearshift lever from being moved from P (Park) when the ignition is in the on position unless the brake pedal is pressed. If you cannot move the gearshift lever out of P (Park) with the ignition on and the brake pedal pressed: 1. Apply the parking brake. 2. Using a flat head screwdriver or similar tool, remove the chrome bezel at the base of the gearshift lever. 2013 05+ Mustang (197) Owners Guide gf, 3rd Printing USA (fus)
