Disengage Manual Park Release (MPR)
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The Manual Park Release lever is used for putting the transmission in neutral anytime the vehicle needs to be moved with the engine off in neutral. This is achieved by a cable attached to the transmission park pawl. When the cable is pulled, the transmission is put into neutral, and when the cable is released, the transmission is back into park.
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.
- Set the parking brake.
- Open the center console to access the storage compartment.
- Remove the Mechanical Park Release cover (2) using a trim stick (1).
- Using a small screw driver or similar, push the locking tab (1) to release the MPR lever (2).
- Pull the tether upward until the MPR lever (1) locks in place. The vehicle is now in neutral.
