TOWING WITHOUT POWER OVERRIDE
TRANSAXLE INTERLOCK SYSTEM
Special care must be taken when the vehicle is towed
with the ignition in the LOCK position. Adolly should be
used under the front wheels if the rear wheels are raised.
Proper towing equipment is necessary to prevent dam-
age to the vehicle.
Battery power is required to release the brake/transaxle
interlock system. There is an override system that allows
you to shift out of PARK in case of loss of power. To
activate the override system:
Firmly apply the parking brake.
Insert the ignition key and rotate it to the ON position.
Remove the cupholder liner.
Insert a key, screwdriver, or similar object into the
front hole then push and hold the manual override
release lever forward.
While holding the release lever forward, move the
shift lever from PARK to NEUTRAL.
Release the override.
