P (Park), a Driver Information
Center (DIC) message may be
displayed. Check that the
vehicle is on, the vehicle ready
light is on, and the brake pedal
is applied when you are
attempting to shift out of
P (Park). If all of these are met
but the vehicle will not shift
out of P (Park), see your dealer
for service. If equipped, the Buckle to
Drive feature may prevent
shifting from P (Park). See
Buckle To Drive
051.
