Apply the parking brake and turn the ignition off before performing this procedure. The instrument cluster will display the selected gear that you are currently in. SelectShift will automatically make some shifts for you in the event that your engine speed is running at too high, or to low an RPM. Note: Engine damage may occur if excessive engine revving is held without shifting. Brake-Shift Interlock WARNINGS Do not drive your vehicle until you verify that the brake lamps are working. 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. If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake warning lamp remains illuminated, the brakes may not be working properly. See your authorized dealer.
