Note:

For some markets, this feature will be disabled. If the fuse is not

blown, perform the following procedure:

1. Apply the parking brake, turn the ignition to off, then remove the key.

2. Using a screwdriver or similar
tool, carefully pry out the small
Brake Transmission Shift Interlock
(BTSI) cover cap located to the
right of the gearshift lever.

3. Insert a screwdriver or similar
tool straight down into the access
hole and press downward while
pulling the gearshift lever out of the
P (Park) position and into the N
(Neutral) position.

4. Remove tool and reinstall the
BTSI cover cap.

5. Start the vehicle and release the
parking brake.

WARNING:

Do not drive your vehicle until you verify that the

brakelamps are working.

WARNING:

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.

WARNING:

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 as soon as possible.
