If you cannot move the gearshift lever out of P (Park) with ignition in

the on position and the brake pedal pressed, it is possible that a fuse has

blown or the vehicle’s brake lamps are not operating properly. Refer to

the Fuses chapter for more information.

If the fuse is not blown and the brake lamps are working properly, the

following procedure will allow you to move the gearshift lever from P (Park):

1. Apply the parking brake, turn the

ignition key to the off position and

remove the key.

2. Using a screwdriver (or similar

tool), carefully pry off and remove

the passenger side console cover to

expose the inside of the shifter

assembly.

3. Locate the brake shift interlock

lever on the passenger side of the

shifter assembly.

4. Apply the brake pedal. Using a

screwdriver (or similar tool), press

and hold the brake shift interlock

lever forward below the metal blade

while pulling the gearshift lever out

of the P (Park) position and into

the N (Neutral) position.

5. Install the console cover.

6. Apply the brake pedal, start the vehicle and release the parking brake.

Note: See your authorized dealer as soon as possible if this procedure is

used.

If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck in Mud or Snow

Note: Do not rock the vehicle if the engine is not at normal operating

temperature or damage to the transmission may occur.

Note: Do not rock the vehicle for more than a minute or damage to the

transmission and tires may occur, or the engine may overheat.

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow, it may be rocked out by

shifting between forward and reverse gears, stopping between shifts in a

steady pattern. Press lightly on the accelerator in each gear.
