Chevrolet Sonic Owner's Manual: Shifting out of Park (Automatic Transmission)
This vehicle is equipped with a shift lock control. The shift lock control is designed to:
- Prevent ignition key removal unless the shift lever is in P (Park) with the shift lever button fully released.
- Prevent movement of the shift lever out of P (Park) unless the ignition is in ON/RUN and the brake pedal is applied.
The shift lock control is always functional except in the case of an uncharged or low voltage (less than 9‐volt) battery.
If the vehicle has an uncharged battery or a battery with low voltage, try charging or jump starting the battery. See Jump Starting.
To shift out of P (Park):

3. Move the shift lever to the desired position.
If you still cannot move the shift lever from P (Park), consult your dealer or a professional towing service.
The doors may lock when shifting from P (Park). See Automatic Door Locks.
