IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

307

To move the vehicle in cases where the 

transmission will not shift out of PARK (P) (such as 

a depleted battery), a Manual Park Release is 

available.

Manual Park Release Access Cover

Follow These Steps To Activate The Manual Park 

Release:
1. Apply firm pressure to the brake pedal while 

seated in the driver’s seat.

2. Apply the parking brake, if possible.

3. Using a small screwdriver or similar tool, 

remove the Manual Park Release access 

cover, which is to the lower left of the steering 

column.

4. The Manual Park Release access cover is 

connected to a red tether strap. Pull the tether 

strap out as far as it will go, then release it. The 

transmission should now be in NEUTRAL (N), 

allowing the vehicle to be moved.

Tether Strap

NOTE:

When the lever is locked in the released position, 

the tether will remain outside of the trim panel and 

the access cover cannot be reinstalled.
5. Release the parking brake only when the 

vehicle is securely connected to a tow vehicle.

To Reset The Manual Park Release:
1. Apply firm pressure to the brake pedal while 

seated in the driver’s seat.

2. Pull the tether strap out again, then release it.
3. Allow the tether to retract with the lever back 

to its original position.

4. Verify that the transmission is in PARK (P).
5. Confirm that the tether has retracted fully 

and re-install the access cover. If the 

access cover cannot be re-installed, repeat 

steps 1 through 4.
