1. Lift upward on the access cover, located in the rear portion of the center console to
release it from the console hinges.
2. Using a screwdriver or similar tool, push
the metal latch in towards the tether strap.
3. While the metal latch is in the open posi-
tion, simultaneously pull upwards on the
tether strap until it clicks and releases
out of the park position.
NOTE:
To prevent the vehicle from rolling uninten-
tionally, firmly apply the parking brake.
To Disengage the Manual Park Release

1. Pull upward on the tether while pushing the
release latch towards the tether to unlock

the lever has been unlocked, push the lever
all the way down to be sure it is stowed
properly and locks into position.
