Selector Lever (Gear Shift) Interlock - Service Release Procedure

Issue:

On 2000 MY-ON S-TYPE vehicles, the situation could occur that the gear selector lever remains locked in the 'P' position. While a discharged

towed.

Action:

1. Pull hand brake into tully up position.

2. Release the hand brake trim snap.

3. Lift center console lid.
