340 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
MANUAL PARK RELEASE
To move the vehicle in cases where the
transmission will not shift out of PARK (P) (such
as a depleted battery), a Manual Park Release
is available.
Manual Park Release Access Cover
Follow These Steps To Activate The Manual
Park Release:
1. Apply firm pressure to the brake pedal
while seated in the driver’s seat.
2. Apply the parking brake, if possible.
3. Using a small screwdriver or similar tool,
remove the Manual Park Release access
cover, which is to the lower left of the
steering column.
4. The Manual Park Release access cover is
connected to a red tether strap. Pull the tether
strap out as far as it will go, then release it.
The transmission should now be in NEUTRAL
(N), allowing the vehicle to be moved.
NOTE:
When the lever is locked in the released posi-
tion, the tether will remain outside of the trim
panel and the access cover cannot be rein-
stalled.
5. Release the parking brake only when the
vehicle is securely connected to a tow
vehicle.
To Reset The Manual Park Release:
1. Apply firm pressure to the brake pedal
while seated in the driver’s seat.
2. Pull the tether strap out again, then release
it.
3. Allow the tether to retract with the lever
back to its original position.
4. Verify that the transmission is in PARK (P).
5. Confirm that the tether has retracted fully
and re-install the access cover. If the access
cover cannot be re-installed, repeat steps 1
through 4.
WARNING!
You should be seated in the driver’s seat with
your foot firmly placed on the brake pedal to
maintain control of the vehicle before
activating the Manual Park Release. If
possible, you should apply the parking brake.
Activating the Manual Park Release will allow
your vehicle to roll away if it is not secured or
properly connected 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.
