Shift lock located on your shifter by sticking a key or an small object into the hole to release the lock; Only used when need to shift out of gear if the battery is dead OR the brake sereniod switch goes bad and wont release the lock to the shifter when applying pressure to brake peddle to allow you to move shifter into gear. also state in owners manuel.
On a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe, the interlock is a cable without a solenoid. There is no release on the shift handle on this model. The cable end at the brake pedal has a little retainer that slips out of position and causes the cable to not pull the interlock lever forward. Once is slips out you might as well replace the cable because it will happen again.
If you accidentilly or purposely lock the shift knob there is usually a small key lock on the console by the shifter that you can insert your starting key into and turn and it releases the locked shifter
