there is a slot in front of the shifter, insert the and it will release, it is just a button
There is a lock release button on the gearshift, hold it when changing gears
The shift lock release is usually a button on the side of a shifter. The shift lock release button needs to be pushed in before the car can be moved from Park to another gear.
There is a button hidden on the front left of the shift consol (matching the trim) that releases the Transmission lock! (Adapted from an answer on a different model year. THANKS!)
The shift lock button is used when the battery has discharged or the ignition isn't turned on, once the button is pressed it allows the gear lever to be moved from P (parking) to N (neutral).
To turn on caps-lock, double-tap the shift button (up arrow). To turn caps-lock off, just tap the shift button once.
sounds like your shift lever is not locking all the way. *the button on the drivers side (1/2inx1/8in) is the shift lock override, this could be stuck, take the trim piece off and check it.
hit the lock button twice
Tap the shift button twice until it turns blue :)
To replace the shift lock button on a 2000 Volvo S40, start by removing the center console panel surrounding the gear shifter. This typically involves unscrewing screws and gently prying the panel away. Once exposed, disconnect the wiring harness from the old shift lock button and remove it from the assembly. Install the new button by reversing the process, ensuring a secure fit before reassembling the center console.
if you can't shift out of park or sometimes when the key can't be removed sometimes it helps to remove the cap of the shift lock release and press the button with a key, pen, or whatever fits in there to depress it.
So that you don't shift the gear selector by accident
it means the shift button on the left side of your keyboard, under Caps Lock.
