and you want the vehicle to move
when pushed.
1. After parking your vehicle, depressthe brake pedal and move the
transaxle shift lever to [P] with the
ignition button in [ON] or while the
engine is running.
2. If the parking brake is applied release the parking brake.
- For EPB (Electronic ParkingBrake) equipped vehicles, push
the brake pedal with the ignition
button in [ON] or while the engine
is running to reapply the parking
