Vehicles with an automatic transmission have an electrically operated park-lock fea­
ture. If the vehicle's battery is discharged,
or there is some other electrical failure, the
automatic transmission cannot be shifted
out of Park in the normal way. Jump start­
ing may correct the condition. If not, follow the procedure described below. This pro- cedure
will permit shifting the transmission
out of
Park.

applied.
2) If the engine is running, stop the
engine.
3) Make sure the key is in the "ON" or "ACC" position. 4) With pushing the release button (1),
shift the gearshift lever to the desired
position.
This procedure
is for emergency use only. If repeated use of this procedure is neces­sary, or the procedure does not work as described, take the vehicle to your dealer for repair.

CAUTION
(Continued) • Do not operate the vehicle while a
4WD mode indicator is blinking except when shifting between "4H" and "4L LOCK".
If you operate the vehicle while a
4WD mode indicator is blinking, a
buzzer will sound and the transfer will shift to "N" (Neutral) to prevent
transfer case damage.
In this case, use the following pro­cedure.
1) Release your foot from the accel­erator pedal and depress the
brake pedal to stop the vehicle
completely.
2) Depress the clutch pedal fully (if
equipped) or shift the automatic transmission gearshift lever to the "N" position. 3) If the transfer does not shift from "N" although you perform 1) and 2), turn the transfer switch to the
position previously selected and
operate the switch again.
NOTE: The information display shows the warning
and indicator message when the transfer
system
is operated, or has a problem.
