Stay in Neutral Mode

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

If it is necessary for the vehicle to stay in N without the driver present, such as being pulled through a car wash, this mode disables Return to Park. In Stay in Neutral the system remains awake draining the battery if the engine is off. When you enter neutral at low speed Press M to Enter Stay in Neutral will be displayed. If the driver presses the M button within 5 seconds, the message Stay in Neutral Mode appears on the multifunction display. During this mode the N position on the GSM flashes continuously and the instrument cluster will display N as the selected gear. To exit Stay in Neutral Mode, shift out of N.

If the battery discharges while in Stay in Neutral Mode, the park lock pawl solenoid releases and transmission returns to P. Do not tow the vehicle in this mode. Neutral Hold exits 30 minutes after the ignition key is turned OFF resulting in transmission returning to P.
