MANUAL PARK RELEASE
WARNING!
Always secure your vehicle by fully apply-
ing the parking brake before activating the
Manual Park Release. In addition, you
should be seated in the driver’s seat with

2. Remove the manual park release cover,

the release tether strap.
3. Using a small screwdriver or similar tool,
