Torque Lock (Automatic Transmission)
If you are parking on a hill and you don’t shift your transmission into “P”
(Park) properly, the weight of the vehicle may put too much force
on the
parking pawl in the transmission.
You may find it difficult to pull the shift
lever out
of “P” (Park). This is called “torque lock.” To prevent torque
lock, always be sure to shift into “P” (Park) properly before you leave the
driver’s seat.
To find out how, see “Shifting Into ‘P’ (Park)” in the Index.
If “torque lock” does occur, you may need to have another vehicle push
yours a little uphill to take some of the pressure from the transmission,
so
you can pull the shift lever out of “P” (Park).
SHIFTING OUT OF “P” (PARK)
Your Cadillac has a brake-transmission shift interlock. You have to fully
apply your regular brake before you can shift from
“P” (Park) when the
ignition is in the “Run” position. See “Automatic Transmission”
in the
Index.
If you cannot shift out of “P” (Park), ease pressure on the shift lever --
push the shift lever all the way into “P” (Park) as you maintain brake
application. Then move the shift lever into the gear you want.
If you ever
hold the brake pedal down but still can’t shift out of “P” (Park), try this:
1. Turn the key to “Off.” Open and close the driver’s door to turn off the

On a long uphill grade, shift down to a lower gear and reduce your speed
and reduce your speed to around
45 mph (70 km/h) to reduce the
possibility of engine and transmission overheating.
If your trailer weighs more than
2,000 pounds (908 kg), you should drive
in “D or 3” instead of Overdrive. This allows the torque convertor clutch
to engage and allowing the transmission to run cooler.
Parking on Hills
You really should not park your vehicle, and trailer on a hill. If something
goes wrong your rig could start to move. People can be injured and both
I your vehicle and the trailer can be damaged.

downhill side the trailer wheels.
