⚠️ 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 parking brake is engaged and the vehicle is securely chocked on all wheels.
- Locate the small rectangular or circular plastic cap near the base of the shifter on the center console (typically positioned to the left or forward of the shifter).
- Pry off the override cap carefully using a flathead screwdriver or trim tool.
- Insert a small flathead screwdriver or the emergency key blade into the shift-lock override slot.
- While pressing down firmly on the override mechanism, attempt to press the brake pedal if any power is available, and move the shifter to neutral.
- If completely dead, maintain downward pressure on the override and physically move the shifter through its gate to the neutral position.
- Replace the cap after shifting to neutral.
Shift-lock override location
Small plastic cap located on the center console near the shifter base, generally to the left side or forward of the shifter gate; requires inspection to confirm exact position on this first-year model.
With zero electrical power
The Huracan's shift-by-wire system will not function without 12V power. Use only the mechanical shift-lock override as described. Do not attempt to force the shifter without engaging the override release, as this may damage the mechanism. The key position does not affect the mechanical override function when the battery is completely dead.
