brake pedal and hold. Do not release.
Pull the orange tether towards the driver
seat until the tether gets locked in the
override position. Then leave the tether.
6. The tether should stay extended while in the override position.
7. If done correctly, a message on the instrument cluster displays Park Not
Available, Transmission Not in Park, or
Shift System Fault. Note:
Your vehicle is now out of the park (P)
position and is free to roll.
8. With your foot still fully applied on the brake pedal, disengage the parking
brake. See Electric Parking Brake (page
246
).

Once it is safe to do so, and there is no
risk that your vehicle will roll,
disconnect the negative, black, battery
cable from the battery. If the vehicle
rolls before the battery is disconnected,
the electric parking brake may
automatically apply. The operator may
need to release the parking brake
again. See Electric Parking Brake
(page 246).
Returning Your Vehicle to Normal Mode
1. Once it is safe to do so, reconnect the negative, black, battery cable to the
battery.
2. Apply the parking brake.
See Electric
Parking Brake (page 246).
Note: If the vehicle battery is dead, for
example, no electrical power is available,
you could require external power to apply
the parking brake.
3. Fully apply the brake pedal and hold, do
not release. Pull the orange tether
outward toward the driver seat to remove
it from the override position. 4. The cable releases and retracts back to
its original rest position.
5. Stow the manual park release cable tether back inside the instrument panel
dash hole, and install the access cover
by pressing it back in position.
6. With your foot fully applied on the brake
pedal, start your vehicle. Confirm that
your vehicle is in the park (P) position and
that the instrument cluster indicates park
(P).
7. If the instrument cluster is not displaying
the park (P) position or there is a
message stating Park Not Available,
Transmission Not In Park, or Shift System
Fault, apply the parking brake before
exiting your vehicle. Contact an
authorized dealer for service. Automatic Transmission Adaptive
Learning
This feature may increase durability and
provide consistent shift feel over the life of
your vehicle. A new vehicle or transmission
may have firm shifts, soft shifts or both. This
is normal and does not affect the operation
or durability of the transmission. Over time,
the adaptive learning process fully updates
transmission operation.
If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck in Mud or
Snow
If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow,
you can rock it out by shifting between
forward and reverse gears, stopping
between shifts in a steady pattern. Press
lightly on the accelerator in each gear.
Note:
Do not rock your vehicle if the engine
is not at normal operating temperature or
damage to the transmission could occur.
Note: Do not rock your vehicle for more than
a minute or damage to the transmission and
tires could occur, or the engine may
overheat.
