What is the shift lock release used for?

[MacAdalynn]

When the vehicle cannot start and cannot be shifted into neutral, press and hold this button to shift into neutral for towing purposes. Below is the relevant introduction: 1. Function: It prevents the inability to shift gears due to transmission failure. Pressing this device allows for forced movement of the vehicle, enhancing safety. When the car cannot start due to a dead battery, this device can be used to unlock the car's gear shift, allowing the gear to be freely switched. If the car is in P (Park) and cannot be towed, pressing the shift-lock button enables the gear to be changed to N (Neutral) or other gears. Typically, only automatic transmission vehicles have this device. 2. Precautions: This device should only be used when the car has no power; it is generally advised not to use this device under normal circumstances.
