TOWING WITHOUT POWER — OVERRIDE
TRANSAXLE INTERLOCK SYSTEM
Special care must be taken when the vehicle is towed
with the ignition in the LOCK position. A dolly should be
used under the front wheels if the rear wheels are raised.
Proper towing equipment is necessary to prevent dam-
age to the vehicle.
Battery power is required to release the brake/transaxle
interlock system. There is an override system that allows
you to shift out of PARK in case of loss of power. To
activate the override system:
• Firmly apply the parking brake.
• Insert the ignition key and rotate it to the ON position.
• Remove the cupholder liner.
• Insert a key, screwdriver, or similar object into the
front hole then push and hold the manual override
release lever forward.
• While holding the release lever forward, move the
shift lever from PARK to NEUTRAL.
• Release the override.
