cannot be moved out of the PARK posi-

tion.
• Firmly set the parking brake.
• Remove the rubber storage tray liner
from the center console, then lift up the
front of the shift lever bezel, carefully
disengage the bezel from the shift lever
housing, and slide it up to the top of the
shift lever.
• Press and maintain firm pressure on
the brake pedal.
• Insert a small screwdriver or similar tool
down into the access slot at the front of the shift lever assembly, and push and hold the
white override release lever down.
• Move the shift lever into the NEUTRAL position.
• The vehicle may then be started in NEUTRAL.

storage tray liner.
