Towing Without Power — Override Transaxle
Interlock System
Special care must be taken when the vehicle is towed
with the ignition in the LOCK position. A dolly 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.
