Automatic shift lock (ASL)
The selector lever is locked in the P and N positions when the ignition is switched on. The remove it from these positions, the driver must press the brake pedal and press the lock button at the same time. The following message appears in the instrument cluster display when the selector lever is in the P or N position to remind the driver:
Brake pedal must be applied to shift from P
The automatic shift lock only functions when the vehicle is stationary or at speeds below 1 mph (2 km/h). At higher speeds, the lock is automatically deactivated in the N position.
The selector lever is not locked when shifting quickly through N, for example from R to D. This makes it possible to free the vehicle when it is stuck by "rocking" it. The selector lever lock engages if the lever stays in the N position longer than 2 seconds when the brake pedal is not pressed.
Interlock button
The interlock button in the selector lever handle prevents you from moving the selector lever inadvertently while in some selector lever positions.
The positions that require the interlock
button to be pressed are marked in color in the illustration
fig. 84.
