engine running, be sure your vehicle is
in
“P’ (Park) and your parking brake is
firmly set before you leave it. After

Torque f Ock (AUTOMATIC

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, set
the parking brake and
then shift into “P” (Park) properly before
you leave the driver’s seat. To find out
how, see “Shifting Into “P” (Park)” in
the Index.
When you are ready to drive, move the
shift lever out of “P” (Park)
BEFORE
you release the parking brake.
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).
