Occasionally, it may be difficult to move the selector lever from the P-position on certain cars. This is due to a fault in the microswitch fitted to the Shift-lock solenoid. In order to move the selector lever to any other position than P, Shift-lock must be manually disengaged by pressing down the key in the hole next to the selector lever while the selector lever is moved to position N.
