MANUAL PARK RELEASE 8-SPEED

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. The Manual Park Release is
located in the center console under an access cover.

Follow these steps to use the Manual Park Release:

1. Lift upward on the access cover, located in the rear portion of the center console to

release it from the console hinges.

2. Using a screwdriver or similar tool, push

the metal latch in towards the tether strap.

3. While the metal latch is in the open posi-

tion, simultaneously pull upwards on the
tether strap until it clicks and releases
out of the park position.

NOTE:
To prevent the vehicle from rolling uninten-
tionally, firmly apply the parking brake.

To Disengage the Manual Park Release
Lever:

1. Pull upward on the tether while pushing the

release latch towards the tether to unlock
the lever.

2. Once the tension has been released and

the lever has been unlocked, push the lever
all the way down to be sure it is stowed
properly and locks into position.

3. Reinstall the access cover by pushing it

downward until it is locked into place.
