EXAMPLE

Vehicles with an automatic transaxle have
an electrically operated park-lock feature.
If the vehicle's battery is discharged, or
there is some other electrical failure, the
automatic transaxle cannot be shifted out
of Park in the normal way. Jump starting
may correct the condition. If not, follow the
procedure described below. This proce-
dure will permit shifting the transaxle out of
Park.
1) Be sure the parking brake is firmly
applied.
2) If the engine is running, stop the
engine.
3) Make sure the key is in the "ON" or
"ACC" position, or the ignition mode is
"ON" or "ACC".
4) Remove the cover (1) over the button.
5) With the release button (1) pushed by
the key or the flat end rod, push the
knob button (2) and shift the gearshift
lever to the desired position.
This procedure is for emergency use only.
If repeated use of this procedure is neces-
sary, or the procedure does not work as
described, take the vehicle to your dealer
for repair.
