Dodge 2014 Charger-SRT - User Guide - Manual (Page 99)

• In order to push or tow the vehicle in cases where the transmission will not shift out of
PARK (such as a dead battery), a Manual Park Release is available. Follow these steps to
use the Manual Park Release:
• Firmly apply the parking brake.
• Remove the console storage bin to access the Manual Park Release lever.
• Using a small screwdriver or similar
tool, fish the tether strap up through the
opening in the console base.
• Insert the screwdriver into the slot in
the center of the lever, and disengage
the lever locking tab by pushing it to the
right.
• While holding the locking tab in the dis-
engaged position, pull the tether strap
to rotate the lever up and rearward, until
it locks in place in the vertical 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 latch (at the base of the lever,
on the rear side) rearward (away from the
lever) to unlatch the lever.
• Rotate the Manual Park Release lever for-
ward and down, to its original position,
until the locking tab snaps into place to
secure the lever.
• Pull up gently on the tether strap to con-
firm that the lever is locked in its stowed
position.
• Tuck the tether strap into the base of the
console. Reinstall the console storage bin.
