How to Put a Car Into Neutral When the Battery Is Dead
1. Set your parking brake for safety. Some vehicles use a handbrake (usually next to your gear selector); others use a pedal brake (usually to the left of your accelerator pedal).
2. Locate and engage the shift lock override. Vehicles with electronic shift lock have manual overrides. Look for a tiny, removable panel on your shift selector. Pry this panel up with a flathead screwdriver. Insert the screwdriver into the hole to engage the manual shift lock override.
3. Insert your key into the ignition; turn it to the On or Acc position.
4. Depress the brake pedal completely. Move the shift selector to neutral.
