Torque Lock

If you are parking on a hill and you don’t shift your

transmission into PARK (P) properly, the weight of the

vehicle may put too much force on the parking pawl

in the transmission. You may ﬁnd it difficult to pull the

shift lever out of PARK (P). This is called “torque

lock” To prevent torque lock, set the parking brake and

then shift into PARK (P) properly before you leave

the driver’s seat. To ﬁnd out how, see Shifting Into

Park (P) (Automatic Transmission) on page 2-32.

When you are ready to drive, move the shift lever out

of PARK (P) before you release the parking brake.

If torque lock does occur, you may need to have another

vehicle push yours a little uphill to take some of the

pressure from the parking pawl in the transmission,

so you can pull the shift lever out of PARK (P).

Shifting Out of Park (P) (Automatic

Transmission)

Your vehicle has an automatic transmission shift lock

control system which locks the shift lever in PARK (P)

when the ignition is in the LOCK position. In addition, you

have to fully apply the regular brakes before you can shift

from PARK (P) when the ignition is in ON. See Automatic

Transmission Operation on page 2-22.

If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure on

the shift lever by pushing the shift lever all the way into

PARK (P) as you maintain brake application. Then,

press the shift lever button and move the shift lever into

the gear you want.

If you ever hold the brake pedal down but still cannot

shift out of PARK (P), try this:

1. Turn the key to ACC (Accessory). (There is no shift

interlock in this key position.)

2. Apply and hold the brake until the end of Step 4.

3. Shift the transmission to NEUTRAL (N).

4. Start the vehicle and then shift to the gear you want.

5. Have the system ﬁxed as soon as you can.
