If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, be sure your
vehicle is in “PYy (Park) and your parking brake is firmly set before you
leave it. After you’ve moved the shift lever into the “P” (Park) position,
hold the regular brake pedal down. Then, see if you can move the shift
lever away
from “P” (Park) without first pulling it toward you (or, if you
have the console shift
lever, without first pushing the button). If you can,
it means that the shift lever wasn’t fully locked into “P” (Park).

& your regular brake before you can shift from “P” (Park) when the
ignition is in the “Run” position. See “Automatic Transaxle” in the Index.
If you cannot shift out of “P” (Park), ease pressure on the shift lever --
push the shift lever all the way into “P” (Park) and also release the shift
lever button on floor shift models as you maintain brake application.
Then move the shift lever into the gear you want. (Press the shift lever
button before moving the shift lever.)
If you ever hold the brake pedal
down but still can’t shift out of “PYy (Park), try this:

The Canadian Federal Government has decided that “Daytime Running
Lights” (DRL) are a useful feature, in that DRL can make your vehicle
more visible
to pedestrians and other drivers during daylight hours. DRL
are required on new vehicles sold
in Canada.
your DRL work with a light sensor on top
of the instrument panel. Don’t
cover it up.
The low beam headlights will come on at reduced brightness in daylight
when:
0 The ignition is on
0 The headlight switch is off, and
0 The transaxle is not in “P” (Park).
At dusk, if the Twilight Sentinel feature is turned on, the exterior lights
will come on automatically and the low beams will change to full
brightness. At dawn, the exterior lights will go out and the low beams will
change to the reduced brightness
of DRL (if the headlight switch is off).
Of course, you may still turn on the headlights any time you need to.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL
off, snift the transaxle into “P” (Park).
The DRL will stay
off until you shift out of “P” (Park).
