Torque
Lock
(Automatic Transaxle)
If
you are parking on a hill and you don’t shift your transaxle into
“P”
(Park) 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
“P”
(Park). This is called “torque lock.’’
To
prevent torque
lock, always be sure to shift into “P” (Park) properly before you leave the
driver’s seat. To find out how, see “Shifting Into
“P”
(Park)”
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
“P”
(Park).
