Use this feature to move your transmission from the park position in the event of a no start situation. If
your vehicle has a dead battery, an external power source will be required. Do not tow your vehicle in this
mode.
NOTE:
This feature will only function if your 12-volt battery has power and the starter can spin the engine.
If vehicle battery voltage is not sufficient, an external 12-volt power source (for example, jumper cables,
battery charger or jump pack) may be required for this feature to function.
NOTE:
Once in this mode, sufficient battery voltage must be maintained or your vehicle will return to park.
WARNING: When doing this procedure, you need to take the transmission out of park (P) which
means your vehicle can roll freely. To avoid unwanted vehicle movement, always fully apply the
parking brake prior to doing this procedure. Use wheels chocks if appropriate.
To transport your vehicle it may be necessary to put the transmission in the MANUAL PARK OVERRIDE
position, using the release lever on the side of the transmission.
IN MANUAL PARK OVERRIDE THE
VEHICLE IS FREE TO MOVE AND PARK CAN NOT BE ENGAGED. SECURE VEHICLE PRIOR TO
MANUALLY OVERRIDING PARK.
