🚨 2015 Dodge Attitude: Emergency Neutral
The 2015 Dodge Attitude (a rebadged Mitsubishi Mirage G4 for Latin American markets) has a conventional floor-mounted console shifter with electronic shift-lock.
🧰 Drafted with AI under the editorial review of Chris Hackleman & Jeff Moore — details like the exact override location may vary by trim; verify visually before prying anything.
⚠️ Chock the wheels first — neutral means the car can roll. Set the parking brake while you work, never stand downhill of the vehicle, and try a 12-volt jump before any override: power fixes most stuck-in-park problems instantly.
The procedure
- Set the parking brake firmly and chock the wheels.
- Turn the ignition to ACC or ON position if battery has any charge remaining.
- Locate the shift-lock override slot on the console to the left of the shifter—look for a small rectangular rubber cap approximately 1 inch from the shifter base.
- Use a flathead screwdriver or key to pry out the rubber cap.
- Insert the screwdriver into the exposed slot and push down firmly.
- While holding the override down, press the brake pedal (if power available) and move the shifter to Neutral.
- If no power is available, continue holding the override down and apply firm pressure to move the shifter to Neutral.

With zero electrical power
With a completely dead battery, the mechanical shift-lock override will still function. Insert the tool into the override slot, press down firmly, and move the shifter to Neutral with steady pressure. The steering wheel will remain locked, requiring flatbed transport with wheels able to roll freely.
