🚨 2015 Peugeot 108: Emergency Neutral
The 2015 Peugeot 108 automatic uses a conventional console-mounted P-R-N-D gate shifter with electronic shift lock.
🧰 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
- Ensure the vehicle is on level ground and the parking brake is firmly engaged
- Turn the ignition to the 'ON' or 'ACC' position if 12V power is available (this may release the shift lock automatically)
- If the shifter remains locked, locate the shift lock override slot—typically a small covered access point near the base of the shifter console
- Remove the override cover (it may be a small cap or trim piece that pries off with a flat tool)
- Insert a small flathead screwdriver or similar tool into the override slot and press down while pulling the shifter out of Park
- Move the shifter to Neutral
- Keep the parking brake engaged and use wheel chocks before releasing the brake pedal
Shift-lock override location
Near the base of the shifter console, typically on the right or front side; the exact position requires removing a small plastic cover
With zero electrical power
With a completely dead battery, the shift lock override slot must be used as the electronic mechanism will not release. The override is mechanical and does not require electrical power. You may need a flashlight to locate the override slot in low light.
