MANUAL PARK RELEASE
WHAT IS MANUAL PARK RELEASE
Manual park release allows you to move
your transmission out of the park (P)
position in the event of an electrical
malfunction or emergency.
MANUAL PARK RELEASE
PRECAUTIONS WARNING: When doing this
procedure, you need to take the
transmission out of park (P) which
means your vehicle can roll freely. To
avoid unwanted vehicle movement,
always fully apply the parking brake prior
to doing this procedure. Use wheels
chocks if appropriate. WARNING:
If the parking brake is
fully released, but the brake warning
lamp remains illuminated, the brakes
may not be working properly. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible. WARNING:
Do not drive your
vehicle until you verify that the
stoplamps are working.
Use the manual park release to move your
transmission from the park (P) position in
