Torque Lock

If you are parking on a hill and you do not shift the

vehicle into P (Park) 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 P (Park). This is called torque lock.

To prevent torque lock, set the parking brake and

then shift into P (Park) properly before you leave the

driver seat. To ﬁnd out how, see Shifting Into Park

on page 2-29.

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

P (Park) 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 P (Park).

Shifting Out of Park

The vehicle has an automatic transmission shift lock

control system. You have to fully apply the brakes before

you can shift from P (Park) when the ignition is in

ON/RUN. See Automatic Transmission Operation on

page 2-24.

The shift lock control system is designed to do the

following:

• Prevent the ignition key from being removed

unless the shift lever is in P (Park).

• Prevent movement of the shift lever out of P (Park),

unless the ignition is in ON/RUN and the regular

brake pedal is applied.

The shift lock control system is always functional

except in the case of a dead battery or low voltage

(less than 9 V) battery.

If the vehicle has an uncharged battery or a battery with

low voltage, try charging or jump starting the battery.

See Jump Starting on page 5-41 for more information.

To shift out of P (Park) use the following:

1. Apply the brake pedal.

2. Move the shift lever to the desired position.

If you still are unable to shift out of P (Park):

1. Ease the pressure on the shift lever.

2. While holding down the brake pedal, push the shift

lever all the way into P (Park)

3. Move the shift lever to the desired position.

If you are still having a problem shifting, then have the

vehicle serviced.
