Shift-lock override

OCDMH059005

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, then do the following:

  1. Place the ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF position.
  2. Apply the parking brake.
  3. Press down the shift lock release button.
  4. Move the shift lever.

If the shift lever does not move even after performing this procedure, have the system checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.
