W H AT T O D O I N E M E R G E N C I E S MANUAL PARK RELEASE - 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION WARNING! Always secure your vehicle by fully applying the parking brake, before 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. In order to push or tow the vehicle in cases where the transmission will not shift out of PARK (such as a dead battery), a Manual Park Release is available. Follow these steps to use the Manual Park Release: 1. Firmly apply the parking brake. 2. Remove the console storage bin to access the Manual Park Release lever. 3. Using a small screwdriver or similar tool, fish the tether strap up through the opening in the console base. 4. Insert the screwdriver into the slot in the center of the lever, and disengage the lever locking tab by pushing it to the right. Console Storage Bin 177
