Apply the parking brake.
Locate the Shift Lock Release slot next to the gear lever (see image below).
Insert a flat screwdriver into the slot and press down.
While holding the screwdriver down, press and hold the Shift Lock button on the gear lever.
Move the gear lever into N (Neutral).
Remove the screwdriver – the release procedure is complete.
⚠️ Tip: This procedure is intended for emergency use only. Have the transmission system inspected by a professional if the gear lever becomes stuck repeatedly.
