MANUAL PARK RELEASE
WARNING!
Always secure your vehicle by fully applying
the parking brake, before activating the
Manual Park Release. In addition, you
should be seated in the driver’ s seat with your
foot firmly on the brake pedal when activat-
ing the Manual Park Release. Activating the
Manual Park Release will allow your vehicle
to roll away if it is not secured by the parking
brake or by proper connection to a tow ve-
hicle. Activating the Manual Park Release on
an unsecured vehicle could lead to serious
injury or death for those in or around the
vehicle.
In order to move the vehicle in cases where the

a discharged battery), a Manual Park Release is
available.

Manual Park Release cover , remove it by snap-
ping the cover away from the console hinges.

metal latch in towards the tether strap.
5. While the metal latch is in the open position,
simultaneously pull upwards on the tether
strap until the lever clicks and latches in the
released position. The transmission is now
out of P ARK and the vehicle can be moved.
