🚨 2026 Lamborghini Revuelto: Emergency Neutral
The Revuelto uses a plug-in hybrid system with a V12 engine and three electric motors, controlled by push-button drive mode selectors and paddle shifters for the 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.

⚠️ 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 flat surface and parking brake is engaged
- Locate the 12V battery access (typically in the front trunk area) and connect a jump pack or jump cables if battery is dead
- With 12V power restored, press the brake pedal and push the power button to activate the vehicle systems (do not need to start the engine/motors)
- Use the drive mode selector to engage neutral mode - this may require pressing a specific button sequence or holding a drive mode button
- If absolutely no 12V power is available and the vehicle cannot be jumped, check the area around the drive mode selector buttons or under a small trim panel near the center console for a mechanical shift-lock override access point
- Look for a small cap or cover that can be pried off to reveal an override slot - insert a key or small flathead screwdriver and press/pull while attempting to select neutral
- Due to the complex hybrid drivetrain with multiple electric motors and AWD system, if the vehicle cannot be placed in neutral, it MUST be transported on a flatbed with all four wheels off the ground
Shift-lock override location
Likely near the drive mode selector buttons in the center console, possibly under a small removable cap, but the exact location on this new model is not confirmed
With zero electrical power
With zero 12V power, the Revuelto's hybrid system and transmission controls are completely locked. A jump-start is strongly recommended. If a mechanical shift-lock override exists, it would typically be accessed near the drive mode controls, but without power, the transmission actuators still require electrical current to fully disengage. Flatbed transport is the safest option with no power available.
⚡ EV / hybrid warning
WARNING: The Revuelto is a plug-in hybrid with a high-voltage battery system and three electric motors. Even with the 12V system dead, high-voltage components remain dangerous. Do NOT attempt to work under the vehicle or access drivetrain components. The hybrid AWD system with front electric motors and rear engine/motor combination means all four wheels are drive wheels. NEVER tow with any wheels on the ground - this can cause severe damage to the electric motors and battery system even with the car 'off'. FLATBED TRANSPORT ONLY with all four wheels secured. Enable transport mode if possible through the vehicle's systems when 12V power is available.
