Emergency neutral
Emergency Neutral, For Your Exact Car
Dead battery? Shifter locked in Park? Every modern car has a way into neutral — a hidden override slot, a button procedure, or a tow mode — and it's different on every model. Pick your car below for the exact steps.
Before anything: chock the wheels — neutral means the car can roll. Try a 12-volt jump first (works on EVs too); power fixes most stuck-in-park problems instantly. And with a healthy battery, check your brake lights: a blown brake-light fuse is the #1 cause of a locked shifter.
