Chrysler 2014 300 - User Guide - Manual (Page 93)

• 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:
1. Firmly apply the parking brake.
2. Remove the console storage bin to access the Manual Park Release lever.
3. Using a small screwdriver or similar tool,
fish the tether strap up through the
opening in the console base.
4. Insert the screwdriver into the slot in the
center of the lever, and disengage the
lever locking tab by pushing it to the
right.
5. While holding the locking tab in the
disengaged position, pull the tether
strap to rotate the lever up and rear-
ward, 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 connected to a tow vehicle.
To Reset The Manual Park Release:
1. Push the latch (at the base of the lever, on
the rear side) rearward (away from the lever)
to unlatch the lever.
2. 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.
3. Pull up gently on the tether strap to confirm
that the lever is locked in its stowed position.
4. Tuck the tether strap into the base of the
console. Reinstall the console storage bin.
