fish the tether strap up through the opening
in the console base.

brake pedal.

center of the lever, and disengage the lever
locking tab by pushing it to the right.

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
PARK and can be moved. 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.
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.
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 activating 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 vehicle.
Activating the Manual Park Release on an
unsecured vehicle could lead to serious injury
or death for those in or around the vehicle.
