Testing for the Presence of a Brake Shift Interlock Device
CHECK FOR BRAKE SHIFT INTERLOCK SYSTEM—
Determine if your vehicle
is equipped with an Ignition or Shift Interlock device before attempting to
install any rear flasher that connects to the vehicle brake system. An interlock
device prevents the vehicle from being shifted into gear if the brake pedal is
not pressed. This information can be found in the vehicle Owner’s Manual or
by performing the test described in this section. Failure to follow this warning
may lead to property damage or serious injury.
To perform the test:
1.
Set the parking brake according to the instructions in the vehicle Owner’s Manual and start the engine.
2.
Try to shift the transmission out of PARK without pressing the brake pedal.

interlock device, perform the test described in “Testing the Operation of the Brake Shift Interlock
Device” on page 6.
