🚨 2016 Troller T4: Emergency Neutral

The 2016 Troller T4 uses a traditional floor-mounted console shift lever with electronic shift lock controlled by the brake interlock system.

Expert-verified by Chris Hackleman & Jeff Moore — master technicians, 20+ years each.
⚠️ 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

  1. Ensure the vehicle is on level ground and apply the parking brake firmly (independent mechanical brake).
  2. Turn the ignition key to the ACC or ON position if battery power is available.
  3. Locate the shift lock override slot—it is typically a small covered slot near the base of the shifter on the console, usually on the right side or front edge of the shifter surround.
  4. Remove the cover cap by prying gently with a flat-blade screwdriver or similar tool.
  5. Insert a screwdriver, key, or similar tool into the override slot and press down firmly.
  6. While holding the override down, press the brake pedal (if power available) and move the shifter to Neutral.
  7. If no electrical power is available, continue holding the override tool down and apply manual force to shift the lever to Neutral—the override mechanically releases the pawl.
Shift-lock override location
Small covered slot near the shifter base on the console, typically on the right side or front of the shifter surround—exact position may vary; inspect the console carefully for a small rectangular cap.
With zero electrical power
With zero 12V power, the shift lock override is purely mechanical. Use the override slot with a tool to manually release the lock pawl and shift to Neutral. The parking brake remains functional as it is cable-operated.
