IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your
vehicle. If temperature gauge reads "H", pull over and
stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner
turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal
range. If the pointer remains on the "H", turn the engine
off immediately, and call for service.
MANUAL PARK RELEASE
WARNING!
You should be seated in the driver's seat with your foot
firmly placed on the brake pedal to maintain control of
the vehicle before activating the Manual Park Release.
If possible, you should apply the parking brake.
Activating the Manual Park Release will allow your
vehicle to roll away if it is not secured or properly
connected 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 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.
