Shift-lock override

OBD0510061
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:
-
Remove the shift lever boots from the console by using a plastic trim tool.
-
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 a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
-
Be careful not to damage the cover when removing the shift lever boots.
-
Be sure that the vehicle is in flat level ground when releasing the shift-lock.
