🚨 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLS: Emergency Neutral
The Mercedes-Benz CLS was discontinued after the 2023 model year; no 2025 CLS exists in production.

⚠️ 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
- Verify the actual model year and designation of the vehicle—the CLS nameplate ended production with the 2023 model year (C257 generation).
- If this vehicle is actually a 2025 model from another Mercedes line (such as CLE, E-Class, or S-Class), reference the appropriate procedures for that model.
With zero electrical power
