Turn off the engine and apply the parking brake. Pull up the edge of the shift panel to remove it. Press the unlocking device with a screwdriver or mechanical key while pressing the gear lever unlock button, then shift the lever from P to N.
I've been driving for over a decade and have operated many vehicles with electronic gear selectors. I've encountered this issue with the Haval H6 before. To manually release the electronic gear selector, the first step is locating the emergency override switch - usually positioned either on the side of the shifter or beneath the center console armrest. There's typically a small cover that can be pried open using a key or your finger, revealing either a pull cord or button inside. Give it a firm tug or press to disengage the lock and shift into neutral. This procedure is primarily for emergency situations, like when requiring a tow due to breakdown. Always verify the vehicle is stationary and the engine is off before attempting, to prevent accidents. If unsuccessful, don't force it - call for professional towing immediately. Make a habit of reviewing your owner's manual and marking the switch location for quick reference during emergencies. Additionally, electronic shifter malfunctions often stem from battery depletion or software glitches, so regular maintenance can help prevent such occurrences.
