Your vehicle has an automatic transaxle shift lock control system. You have to apply your regular brake first and then press the shift lever button before you can shift from PARK (P). See Automatic Transaxle Operation .

If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure on the shift lever and push the shift lever all the way into PARK (P) as you maintain brake application. Then press the shift lever button and move the shift lever into the gear you wish.
