.. You now have access to a pin. Using a screw-
driver or similar object, press the pin down and
hold it in that position .
.. Press the release button in the selector lever
and move it into the N position.
Only move the selector lever out of the P position
when the ignition is switched on. If the vehicle
must be pushed or towed due to a power failure
(for example, the vehicle battery is drained), the
selector lever must first be moved to the
N posi-
tion using the emergency release mechanism .
A WARNING
- Only activate the emergency release while
on a level surface or a slight slope.
- Only move the selector lever out of the P po-
sition when the parking brake is set. If it is
not functioning, secure the vehicle from
rolling using the brake pedal or other suita-
ble means, such as blocking a front and a
rear wheel. An unsecured vehicle may roll
away, which increases the risk of an acci-
dent.
