9-22 Driving and Operating
Torque Lock
Torque lock is when the weight
of the vehicle puts too much
force on the parking pawl in the
transmission. This happens when
parking on a hill and shifting the
transmission into P (Park) is not
done properly and then it is difficult
to shift out of P (Park). To prevent
torque lock, set the parking brake
and then shift into P (Park). To find
out how, see
“ Shifting Into Park ”
listed previously.
If torque lock does occur, the
vehicle may need to be pushed
uphill by another vehicle to relieve
the parking pawl pressure, so you
can shift out of P (Park).
Shifting out of Park
The transmission has an automatic
transmission shift lock control
system. The key must be in the
ON/RUN position, and the brake
pedal pressed so the shift lever
can be moved from the P (Park)
position.
To shift out of P (Park):
1. Apply the brake pedal.
2. Release the parking brake.
See Parking Brake on
page 9 ‑ 30 .
3. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN.
4. Press the shift lever button.
5. Move the shift lever to the
desired position.
If you still are unable to shift out of
P (Park):
1. Fully release the shift lever
button.
2. Hold the brake pedal down and
press the shift lever button
again.
3. Move the shift lever to the
desired position.
