Blu_Ray_UK2007 Posted November 20, 2024 Share Posted November 20, 2024 Greetings, everyone. I am experiencing an issue with a locked automatic shifter. The vehicle is immobilised in park, and the shift lock release is inoperative. Captiva 2017. All suggestions are welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGreedy Posted November 20, 2024 Share Posted November 20, 2024 I no longer own my Captiva, so I cannot verify physically; nevertheless, some car models include a subtle, almost imperceptible pop-out or snap-in cover on the shift console. This enables the insertion and manipulation of an appropriate instrument, such as a screwdriver, to facilitate release. Please verify whether you possess this function.

MrGreedy Posted November 20, 2024 Share Posted November 20, 2024 I acknowledge that. The 'emergency release access' is designed to override the shift lock mechanism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KissezFun Posted November 20, 2024 Share Posted November 20, 2024 This may result from a defective switch on the brake pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blu_Ray_UK2007 Posted November 20, 2024 Author Share Posted November 20, 2024 The brake light switch seems to be functioning well, since the brake lights are operating properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
