is available.
Follow these steps to activate the Manual Park
Release:
1. Apply firm pressure to the brake pedal
while seated in the driver’s seat.

3. Using a small screwdriver or similar tool,
remove the Manual Park Release access
cover, which is located to the lower left of
the steering column.

cover is the orange tether strap. Insert
Screwdriver or similar tool to unlock locking
tab. Push locking tab up to unlock. Pull the
tether strap out as far as it will go, then
release it. The tether and lever will remain
outside of the trim panel and the
transmission should now be NEUTRAL,
allowing the vehicle to be moved.
