190 Driving and Operating
Diesel Engine Only
Vehicles with a Diesel do not have
manual park release and the ignition
does not need to be on to shift out
of P (Park). To shift from P (Park) to
N (Neutral) with the engine not
running, the driver must press the
N (Neutral) button for at least
one second.
Manual Park Release (Gasoline
Engine Only)
Vehicles with a gasoline engine may
include a manual park release that
can be used to shift the vehicle into
N (Neutral) when the engine is not
running.
Warning
The transmission will be placed in
N (Neutral) when the manual park
release is pulled. The vehicle can
roll and you or others could be
injured. Ensure the vehicle is on
level ground.
Caution
The manual park release is not
intended to be used for towing.
Damage may result from using
the manual park release in this
way. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Pulling the manual park release
while the vehicle is on or turning the
ignition on while the manual park
release is pulled, will result in a
Service Transmission message
being displayed.
To place the vehicle in N (Neutral)
using the manual park release:
1. Ensure the vehicle is on level
ground and set the parking
brake. Release the brake
pedal.
2. Turn the vehicle off.
3. Use a flat-bladed tool to
remove the interior trim panel
on the center console to the
right of the accelerator pedal.
4. Ensure more than one minute
has elapsed since Step 2.
Apply the brake pedal.
