Automatic Transmission

Shift Lock Release

This allows you to move the shift
lever out of Park if the normal

method of pushing on the brake
pedal does not work.

1. Set the Parking brake.

2. Remove the key from the ignition

switch.

3. Put a cloth on the edge of the Shift

Lock Release slot cover next to

the shift lever.

Use a small flat-tipped screwdriver
or small metal plate (neither are
included in the tool kit) to remove
the cover. Carefully pry off the
edge of the cover.

4. Insert the key in the Shift Lock

Release slot.

5. Push down on the key and move

the shift lever out of Park to
Neutral.

SHIFT LOCK RELEASE SLOT

6. Remove the key from the Shift

Lock Release slot, then reinstall

the cover. Make sure the notch on
the cover is on the right side.
Depress the brake pedal and
restart the engine.

If you need to use the Shift Lock
Release, it means your car is
developing a problem. Have the car
checked by your Acura dealer.
