Toraue
Lock
11
you are parking on a hill and you don’t shift your
transmission into PARR (P) 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 PARK (P). This is called “torque lock.”
To
prevent torque lock, set the parking brake and then
shift into PARK (P) properly before you leave the
driver’s seat. To find
out
how, see “Shifting Into
PARK
(P)”
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 PARK
(P).
Shifting out of
PARK
(P)
Your
Cadillac has a brake-transmission
shift
interlock. You
have to fully apply your regular brakes before you can
shift
from
PARK
(P)
when the ignition is in the RUN
position. See “Automatic Transmission” in the Index.
If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure on
the shift lever
--
push the shift lever all the way into
PARK
(P)
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
PARK (P), try this:
1.
Turn the key
to
OFF.
Open
and
close the driver’s door
to
twn
off
the Retained Accessory Power feature.
2.
Apply and hold the brake until the end of Step
4.
3.
Shift to NEUTRAL
(N).
4.
Start the engine and then shift to the drive gear
you want.
5.
Have the vehicle fixed as soon as you can.
