This procedure requires you to shift
the gearshift lever out of park (P)
causing your vehicle to roll. Make
sure you fully set the parking brake before
attempting to release the gearshift lever.
If you release the parking brake and

vehicle’s brake lamps are not operating
properly. See Fuse Specification Chart

lamps are working properly, the following
