If the shift lever cannot be moved from the P (Park) position into R (Reverse) position with the brake pedal depressed, continue depressing the brake, and then do the following:

1. Remove the shift lever boots from the console by using a plastic trim tool.

2. After removing the boots, press and hold the button (1) on the left front side with a pointed tool and change it to the N (Neutral) position.

If the shift lever does not move even after performing this procedure, have the system inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
