Brake-shift interlock
This vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift interlock feature that prevents the gearshift lever from being moved from P (Park) when the ignition is in the on position unless brake pedal is pressed.
If you cannot move the gearshift lever out of P (Park) with ignition in the on position and the brake pedal pressed, it is possible that a fuse has blown or the vehicle’s brake lamps are not operating properly. Refer to Fuses and relays in the Roadside Emergencies chapter.
Note: For some markets, this feature will be disabled. If the fuse is not blown, perform the following procedure:
1. Apply the parking brake, turn the ignition to off, then remove the key.
2. Using a screwdriver or similar tool, carefully pry out the small Brake Transmission
Shift Interlock (BTSI) cover cap located to the right of the gearshift lever.
3. Insert a screwdriver or similar tool straight down into the access hole and press
downward while pulling the gearshift lever out of the P (Park) position and into
the N (Neutral) position.
4. Remove tool and reinstall the BTSI cover cap.
5. Start the vehicle and release the parking brake.
WARNING:
Do not drive your vehicle until you verify that the brakelamps are working.
WARNING:
When doing this procedure, you will be taking the vehicle out of park which means
the vehicle can roll freely. To avoid unwanted vehicle movement, always fully set
the parking brake prior to doing this procedure. Use wheel chocks if appropriate.
WARNING:
If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake warning lamp remains illuminated,
the brakes may not be working properly. See your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
