fish the tether strap up through the opening
in the console base.
4. Press and maintain firm pressure on the
brake pedal.

Engaging The Lever
6. 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

parking brake only when the vehicle is
securely connected to a tow vehicle.

the rear side) rearward (away from the
lever) to unlatch the lever.
Disengaging The Lever
2. Rotate the Manual Park Release lever
forward 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.
NOTE:
When the lever is in the release position the
access cover cannot be reinstalled.
FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand, or
snow, it can often be moved using a rocking
motion. Turn the steering wheel right and left to
clear the area around the front wheels. For
vehicles with automatic transmission, push and
hold the lock button on the gear selector. Then
shift back and forth between DRIVE and
REVERSE (with automatic transmission) or
FIRST gear and REVERSE (with manual
transmission), while gently pressing the
accelerator. Use the least amount of
accelerator pedal pressure that will maintain
the rocking motion, without spinning the wheels
or racing the engine.
