Cadillac cts User Manual

Your vehicle has an automatic transmission shift lock
control system. You have to fully apply your regular
brakes before you can shift from PARK (P) when the
ignition is in ON. See “Automatic Transmission” in 
the Index.

If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease the pressure
on the shift lever. Push the shift lever all the way into
PARK (P) while pushing the button on the shift lever as
you maintain brake application. Then move the shift
lever into the gear you want. If you ever hold the pedal
down but still can’t shift out of PARK (P), try the
following:

1. Turn the ignition key to ACCESSORY. Open and

close the driver’s door to turn off the RAP feature.

2. Apply and hold the brake until the end of Step 4.

3. Shift to NEUTRAL (N).

4. Start the vehicle and then shift to the drive gear 

you want.

5. Have the vehicle fixed as soon as you can.

Before you get out of your vehicle firmly apply the
parking brake. Turn the ignition key to OFF, press the
release button and remove the key. See “Manual
Transmission Key Release Button” in the Index for
more information.

If you are towing a trailer, see “Towing a Trailer” in 
the Index.
