Manually releasing automatic gearbox.

Featured Replies

Having read about the difficulties experienced by someone else following a breakdown, I want to make sure we can put my wife's automatic 2024 Kamiq into neutral, so it can be moved in the event of a breakdown. I've looked at the manual and it says to prise the gap at the rear of the gearlever to revel a lever underneath. I can't see a gap in the gaiter and don't want to start messing around in case I damage it. Has anyone ever tried this?

Not done it on a Kamiq but have on other DQ200,s. Not difficult, and ant Breakdown Recovery person will do it, or just put the front wheels on dollys.

I'm sure it's not difficult, I jst want to know where the release is. I was thinking more about being able to push it to a safe place until a recovery man arrives. I heard of one person who got stuck in a McDonalds drive through for over an hour. It didn't go down very well.

Maybe post a picture of what your DSG shifter looks like and the 'panel in front' or around of it where the Yellow 'Pull release' is under.
