WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
• Using the screwdriver or similar tool, push the Manual Park Release lever locking
tab (just below the middle of the lever) to the right.
• While holding the locking tab in the
disengaged position, pull the tether
strap to rotate the lever rearward, until
it locks in place pointing towards the
driver's seat. Release the locking tab
and verify that the Manual Park Re-
lease lever is locked in the released
position.
• The vehicle is now out of PARK and can
be towed. Release the parking brake
only when the vehicle is securely con-
nected to a tow vehicle.
To Reset The Manual Park Release:
• Push the locking tab to the right, to unlock the lever.
• Rotate the Manual Park Release lever forward to its original position, until the
locking tab snaps into place to secure the lever.
• Pull gently on the tether strap to confirm that the lever is locked in its stowed
position.
• Re-install the access cover.
Always secure your vehicle by fully applying the parking brake, before activating
the Manual Park Release. Activating the Manual Park Release will allow your
vehicle to roll away if it is not secured by the parking brake or by proper connection
to a tow vehicle. Activating the Manual Park Release on an unsecured vehicle
could lead to serious injury or death for those in or around the vehicle.
