Overriding the shiftlock system
G018263
Shiftlock prevents the gear selector from being
moved out of the P position unless the ignition
key is in position II and the brake pedal is
depressed.
In certain cases it may be necessary to move
the gear selector from the P position manually.
To manually override the Shiftlock
system:
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Depress the brake pedal.
3.
There is a small cover below P-R-N-D on
the gear selector panel. Open the rear edge
of the panel.
4. Insert the key blade, see page 124, into the
opening and press it down until it bottoms.
5. With the key blade pressed down, move
the gear selector out of the P position.
