Torque Lock

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

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

vehicle may put too much force on the parking pawl in

the transaxle. 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)

on page 2-40.

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 transaxle, so you

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

Shifting Out of Park (P)

Your vehicle has an automatic transaxle shift lock

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

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

must fully apply your regular brakes before you can

shift from PARK (P) when the ignition is in the

RUN position. See Automatic Transaxle Operation on

page 2-36.

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

the shift lever and push the shift lever all the way up into

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

move the shift lever into the gear you want.

If you ever hold the brake pedal down but still can’t shift

out of PARK (P), do the following:

1. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.

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

3. Shift the transaxle to NEUTRAL (N).

4. Start the engine and then shift to the gear

you want.

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