Manual Park Release
In order 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.
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.
See the following steps to use the Manual Park
Release:
1.
Firmly apply the parking brake.
2.
Using a small screwdriver or similar tool,
remove the manual park release cover
located in front of the gear selector, to
access the release tether strap.
