If you ever hold the brake pedal down but still can't shift out of PARK (P), try this: 1. Turn the ignition to LOCK. Make sure the parking brake is applied. 2. Carefully pry the shift-lock override small, round cover from the floor-shift console, located to the right of the shift lever. Parking Your Vehicle Before you get out of your vehicle, move the shift lever into REVERSE (R), and firmly apply the parking brake. Once the shift lever has been placed into REVERSE (R) with the clutch pedal pressed in, you can turn the ignition key to OFF, remove the key and release the clutch. If you are towing a trailer, see Towing a Trailer on page 4-34. 3. Insert the end of a flat-tipped tool into the circular slot and press down firmly. 4. While maintaining brake application, move the shift lever into the drive gear you want. 5. Have the vehicle fixed as soon as possible. 2-31
