Torque
Lock
If you are parking on a hill and
you
don’t shift your
transmission into PARK (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 brakeland 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.
When
you
are ready
to
drive, move the shift lever out
of
PARK (P)
before
you release the parking brake.
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).
Parking
Over
Things
That
Burn
Things that can burn could touch hot exhaust
parts under your vehicle and ignite. Don’t park
over papers, leaves, dry grass or other things that
can burn.
