Shiftlock override


If the vehicle cannot be driven, for example because of a dead battery, the gear selector must be moved from the P position before the vehicle can be moved3.
1 - Lift away the rubber mat on the floor of the storage compartment behind the center console to expose the small opening for overriding the shiftlock system.
2 - Insert the key blade into the opening. Press the key blade down as far as possible and keep it held down. Move the gear selector from the P position. For information on the key blade, see page 59.
