Manual Park Release (MPR) - Disengage And Engage

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

DISENGAGE 

The Manual Park Release (MPR) 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.

  1. Set the parking brake.
  2. Apply firm pressure to the brake pedal while seated in the driver's seat.

    When the lever is locked in the released position, the tether will remain outside of the trim panel and the access cover cannot be re-installed.
