MANUAL PARK RELEASE
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 other means. 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 transmis-
sion will not shift out of PARK (such as a dead battery),
a Manual Park Release is available. If a dead 12 volt
battery is the cause of the condition refer to “Jump Start
Procedure — 12 Volt Battery” before performing the
Manual Park Release. To perform the Manual Park Release follow these steps:
•
To prevent the vehicle from rolling unintentionally,
firmly apply the parking brake.
• If possible, raise the front driver’s side of the vehicle to
provide access to the transmission.
• Working from underneath the vehicle, remove the
black rubber plug from the front of the Park module (a
black canister mounted on the front of the transmis-
sion).
