Transmission

Note: See your authorized dealer as soon as possible if this procedure is used. Note: For some markets this feature is not available. Note: This feature only operates if your 12-volt battery has power. If the vehicle battery voltage is not sufficient, use an external 12 volt power source (for example, jumper cables, a battery charger or jump pack) to operate interlock override switch. Use the brake-shift interlock override to move your transmission from the park position in the event of an electrical malfunction. If your vehicle has a dead battery, you need to use an external power source. 1. Apply the parking brake and turn your ignition off before performing this procedure.

The instrument cluster displays your currently selected gear. If a gear is requested but not available due to vehicle conditions (low speed, too high engine speed for requested gear selection), the current gear will flash three times. Note: At full accelerator pedal travel the transmission will auto downshift to ensure maximum performance. Brake-Shift Interlock Override WARNINGS When doing this procedure, you need to take the transmission out of park (P) which means your vehicle can roll freely. To avoid unwanted vehicle movement, always fully apply the parking brake prior to doing this procedure. Use wheels chocks if appropriate. Do not drive your vehicle until you verify that the stoplamps are working. If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake warning lamp remains illuminated, the brakes may not be working properly. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
