When pressed, it allows the shifter to be moved from park to any other gear without turning the key and depressing the brake.
This allows your car to be put in neutral without having the keys in the ignition.
If your not starting in low gear check the little snow flake button next to the gear shift. If this has been pressed your starting in 3 rd. gear.
isn,t that the over drive button
On a 1998 Ford Taurus ; On the column shift the overdrive button is on the end of the gear shift lever On the console shift the overdrive button is on the drivers side of the gear selector lever below the button you have to press to shift out of PARK
== ==
The button is located on the left side of the gear shift. (right under the main shift button)
it just resets the shift points on the trans. it allows you to hold a gear a little longer.
I assume that is the button that allows you to turn off or turn on the overdrive for the transmission ( my Ford Explorer also has a button on the end of the gear shift lever for that purpose )
So that you don't shift the gear selector by accident
check the brake pedal switch
Button on side of gear shifter is pushed in!
its not a warning sign, its the shift button. just press the shift button on the gear box.
a man shift is a manuel shift button it drops the car down a gear for passing and such
