⚠️ 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
- Ensure the vehicle is secure and parking brake is engaged
- Locate the shift lock override access - typically a small cover near the gear selector buttons on the center console
- Remove the override cover using a small flathead screwdriver or trim tool
- Insert the mechanical key from the key fob or a screwdriver into the override slot
- Press and hold the override mechanism while attempting to press the Auto button
- If minimal electrical power is available, this should allow neutral selection
- For completely dead system, proceed to jump-start procedure below

With zero electrical power
The push-button selector requires 12V power. Locate the battery jump-start posts under the front hood/luggage compartment access panel. Connect jumper cables or battery pack to restore minimal electrical function. Once minimal power is restored, use the override procedure above to select neutral. Without any power source, the vehicle must be loaded with all wheels off the ground.
