🚨 2025 Mitsubishi Mirage G4: Emergency Neutral
The Mirage G4 was discontinued after the 2024 model year in the U.S. market; no 2025 model exists in standard production.
🧰 Drafted with AI under the editorial review of Chris Hackleman & Jeff Moore — details like the exact override location may vary by trim; verify visually before prying anything.
⚠️ 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 of your vehicle, as the Mirage G4 was discontinued after 2024 in the U.S. market.
- If you have a 2024 or earlier model, refer to the appropriate year's procedure.
- For a true 2025 Mirage G4 (if this is a special market or leftover stock): Ensure the parking brake is firmly engaged and the vehicle is on level ground or properly chocked.
- Turn the ignition to ACC or ON position if battery power is available.
- Locate the shift lock override slot near the shifter base (typically left side with a cover cap).
- Use a small flathead screwdriver to pry off the override cover cap.
- Insert the tool into the override slot and press down firmly while simultaneously pressing the shifter button and moving the shifter to Neutral.
- Once in Neutral, the vehicle can be rolled or loaded onto a flatbed.
Shift-lock override location
Likely at left side of shifter base with removable cap, but verify actual model year first
With zero electrical power
With zero electrical power, use the mechanical shift lock override. Insert tool into override slot, press down firmly, and shift to Neutral while holding the shifter button. The override does not require battery power to function.
