Driving and Operating
If you have to leave the vehicle with
the engine running, the vehicle must
be in P (Park) and the parking
brake set.
Release the lever and check that
the shift lever cannot be moved out
of P (Park).
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
3. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN.
4. Pull the shift lever toward you.
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.
2. Hold the brake pedal down and
pull the shift lever again.
3. Move the shift lever to the
desired position.
