🚨 2024 Genesis GV60: Emergency Neutral
The 2024 GV60 uses a rotary gear selector dial (Sphere) on the center console that retracts when the vehicle is off.
🧰 Drafted with AI under the editorial review of Chris Hackleman & Jeff Moore — cross-check against your owner’s manual when possible.
⚠️ 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 on a level surface and set the electronic parking brake if possible
- Attempt to power on the vehicle by pressing the brake pedal and pushing the start button - even with low 12V battery, the system may briefly engage
- If the Sphere dial extends, rotate it to N (Neutral) position immediately
- If no power and the dial does not extend, there is no mechanical shift lock override on the rotary dial itself
- Activate the vehicle's Transportation Mode: access the infotainment system if it powers on, navigate to Vehicle Settings > Service Mode > Transportation Mode, and enable it to place the transmission in neutral
- If the 12V system is completely dead and Transportation Mode cannot be activated, the vehicle MUST be loaded onto a flatbed with wheel dollies - do not tow with any wheels on the ground
With zero electrical power
The GV60's rotary dial has no mechanical shift lock override. With zero 12V power, the only option is Transportation Mode via the touchscreen (requires some battery voltage) or flatbed loading with all wheels off the ground using dollies. There is no manual mechanical release accessible to the driver. Jump-starting the 12V battery to gain enough power for Transportation Mode is the recommended approach.
⚡ EV / hybrid warning
CRITICAL: The GV60 is a battery-electric vehicle. NEVER tow with any wheels on the ground - the electric motor(s) will generate voltage and can damage the high-voltage system or cause a fire. Always use a flatbed with wheel dollies or a full trailer. Even in Neutral, if Transportation Mode is not properly activated, regenerative systems may engage.
