IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
MANUAL PARK RELEASE — 8 - SPEED
TRANSMISSION
WARNING!
Always secure your vehicle by fully applying the
parking brake before activating the Manual Park
Release. In addition, you should be seated in the
driver's seat with your foot firmly on the brake
pedal when 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.
To push or tow 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.
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 located to the lower left of the
steering column.

4. Behind the Manual Park Release access cover
is the orange tether strap. Insert Screwdriver
or similar tool to unlock locking tab. Push
locking tab up to unlock. Pull the tether strap
out as far as it will go, then release it. The
tether and lever will remain outside of the trim
panel and the transmission should now be
NEUTRAL, allowing the vehicle to be moved.
