1. Place the steering column shift lever back into the park (P) position.
2. Raise the vehicle.
3. Ensure that the transmission manual shaft lever is in the park (P) position.
4. Pull the white cover (1) back to expose the natural colored lock (2). Under the lock (2), insert a flat-
   bladed screwdriver under the lock ramp located at the top of the lock. The lock will pop up, and the
