Shiftlock
The automatic transmission's shiftlock function helps prevent inadvertently moving the gear selector between different positions.
The brake pedal must be depressed in order to move to another gear selector position.
The gear selector can always be moved forward and rearward, but to change to a new gear selector position, the brake pedal must be depressed.
Messages in the instrument panel
If the gear selector is locked in position, a message will appear in the instrument panel, e.g. Press brake pedal to activate gear lever.
