How do you adjust the automatic gear shift lever?

To adjust the automatic gear shift lever, ensure the vehicle is in the "Park" position for safety. Press the brake pedal, then move the lever to the desired gear (Drive, Reverse, Neutral, etc.) while monitoring the dashboard indicators. If the lever is stuck, check if the brake pedal is fully pressed, as many vehicles have a safety feature that prevents shifting without engaging the brake. Always consult your vehicle's manual for specific instructions related to your model.
