If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, be sure your
vehicle
is in PARK (P) and your parking brake is firmly set before you
leave it. After you’ve moved the shift lever into the PARK (P) position,
hold the regular brake pedal down. Then, see
if you can move the shift
lever away from
PARK (P) 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
PARK (P).
Torque Lock
If you are parking on a hill and you don’t shift your transaxle into
PARK (P) properly, the weight of the vehicle may put too much force
on the parking pawl in the transaxle.
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 transaxle, so you
can pull the shift lever out of PARK (P).

Your Cadillac has brake-transaxle shift interlock. You have to fully apply 2
your regular brakes before you can shift from PARK (P) when the ignition
is in the RUN position. See “Automatic Transaxle” 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) and also release the shift
lever button on floor shift models as you maintain brake application.
e-.
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 PARK
(P), try this:
1. Turn the key to OFF. Open and close the driver’s door to turn 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 vehicle and then shift to the drive gear you want.
5. Have the vehicle fixed as soon as you can.
