Torque
Lock
(Automatic
Transaxle)
If you are parking on a hill and you don’t 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)” in
the Index.
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)
(Automatic Transaxle)
Your vehicle has a brake-transaxle shift interlock. You
have
to
fully
apply
your regular brakes
before
you can
shift from PARK
(P)
when the ignition is in the RUN
position. See “Automatic Transaxle” in the Index.
If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure on
the shift lever
--
push the shift lever all the way into
PARK
(P),
as
you
maintain brake application. Then
move the shift lever into the gear you wish. (Press the
shift lever button before moving the shift lever.)
If
you ever hold the brake pedal down but still can’t
shift out of PARK
(P),
try this:
1.
Turn the key
to
OFF.
2.
Apply and hold the brake until the end of Step
4.
3.
Shift
to
NEUTRAL
(N).
4.
Start the vehicle and then shift
to
the drive gear
you
want.
5.
Have the vehicle fixed as soon as you can.
Parking Your Vehicle
(Manual Transaxle Models Only)
Before you get out of your vehicle, put your manual
transaxle in REVERSE (R) and firmly apply the
parking brake.
