Park Lock Release / Neutral Release

[smwalker]

Hey all,

Wondering if you could confirm or deny something for me. We in the towing industry had someone post a pic today of how to get a 2021 Jeep Cherokee into neutral in case the battery was dead and there was no power to the car. Well what they posted was not similar to what others have experienced with other new Jeep Cherokees. So we were wondering if is what this person captured an "L" model? I would check the Mopar owners manual site but it wont let me in!

Do you guys have this neutral lock in this location? And if you know does it decouple the AWD so the vehicle can be towed? Or just put all the wheels in Neutral?

Here are some pics:

That's the manual parking brake release (page 299-300 in owner's manual). For towing, see pages 193-197.

Thanks for the link and info. But that is not technically parking brake release. Manual Park release. Could still have the parking brake activated.

But that is another good question is there a way to release the electronic parking brake with a vehicle that has no power??
