If a malfunction occurs and the shift lever cannot be moved out of the PARK position, you can use
the following procedure to temporarily move the shift lever:
•Firmly set the parking brake.
• Remove the shift lever override access cover located on the right side of the shift lever housing.
•Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN
position without starting the engine.
• Press and maintain firm pressure on the brake
pedal.
• Using a small screwdriver or similar tool, push
and hold the override release lever in.
• Move the shift lever into the NEUTRAL
position.
• The vehicle may then be started in NEUTRAL.
• Reinstall the shift lever override access cover.
TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
With Ignition Key
Automatic Transmission
•Vehicle can be towed with the front wheels elevated.
• Vehicle can be towed on a flatbed truck (all wheels off the ground).
Manual Transmission
• Vehicle can be flat towed (all four wheels on the ground) with the transmission in NEUTRAL.
• Vehicle can be towed with the front wheels elevated.
• Vehicle can be towed on a flatbed truck (all wheels off the ground).
All Transmissions
• If it is necessary to use the accessories while being towed (wipers, defrosters, etc.), the key must
be in the ON/RUN position. Make certain the transmission remains in NEUTRAL.
Without The Ignition Key
•Special care must be taken when the vehicle is towed with the ignition in the OFF/LOCK
position.A dolly should be used under the front wheels if the rear wheels are raised. Proper
towing equipment is necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
56

•Battery power is required to release the brake/transmission interlock system (automatic
transmission only).There is a removable plug in the right side of the shift lever housing that
allows you to insert your finger to override the system.The ignition key must be in the
ON/RUN position to use the override lever.
CAUTION!
•Failure to follow these towing methods can cause severe transmission damage. Such
damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
• DO NOT flat tow any vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission. Damage to
the drivetrain will result.
• If the vehicle being towed requires steering, the ignition switch must be in the
ON/RUN position.
• Do not attempt to use sling-type equipment when towing.When securing the
vehicle to a flatbed truck, do not attach to front or rear suspension components.
Damage to your vehicle may result from improper towing.
ENHANCED ACCIDENT RESPONSE SYSTEM
•In the event of an impact causing airbag deployment, if the communication network remains
intact, and the power remains intact, depending on the nature of the event the ORC will
determine whether to have the Enhanced Accident Response System perform the following
functions:
•Cut off fuel to the engine.
• Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has power or until the ignition key is turned off.
• Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has power or until the
ignition key is removed.
• Unlock the doors automatically.
• After the event occurs, when the system is active, the message "Fuel Cutoff See Handbook" is
displayed.
• Carefully check the vehicle for fuel leaks in the engine compartment and on the ground near
the engine compartment and fuel tank before resetting the system and starting the engine.
NOTE: In order to start the engine and move the vehicle to a safe location after an impact, the
System Reset Procedure must be completed.
