Remove the key from the ignition
switch.

Set the parking brake.

If you need to use the shift lock
release, it means your vehicle is
developing a problem. Have it
checked by your dealer.

Do this if pushing on the brake pedal
and pressing the release button does
not let you shift the transmission out
of Park:

Push down on the key while you
press the release button on the
shift lever and move the shift lever
out of Park to neutral.

Insert the key in the shift lock
release slot.

Put a cloth on the notch of the
shift lock release slot cover to
prevent scratches. Using a small
flat-tip screwdriver or a metal
fingernail file, carefully pry on the
notch of the cover to remove it.

Remove the key from the shift
lock release slot, then install the
cover. Make sure the notch on the
cover is on the shift lever side.
Insert the key into the ignition
switch, press the brake pedal, and
restart the engine.
