^ Release manual release knob. Unscrew and remove.


IMPORTANT

^ Make sure that the ignition key cannot be turned from "ACC" to "LOCK" when the gear selector lever is in any position other than "P" (PARK). If it can, that means the cable was pulled forward too far during adjustment. Readjust cable.

^ With the gear selector lever in "P" (PARK), make sure that the ignition key can be turned from "ACC" to "LOCK" and back. If it cannot, the cable was not pulled forward far enough during adjustment. Readjust cable.
