Putting a Ford Maverick in Neutral
To put a Ford Maverick in neutral without starting it or using the hidden red pull, there are a few methods mentioned in the community discussions:
1. Using 12V Power: It appears that you need 12V to release the park pawl and the parking brake. Without power, the vehicle won’t shift out of park and potentially won’t even turn on to be shifted into neutral.
2. Temporary Neutral Mode: This mode allows the vehicle to be kept in neutral even after it is turned off. To engage this mode, you need to bring your vehicle to a complete stop, press and hold the brake pedal, shift the vehicle into N (Neutral), press the L (Low) button in the center of the rotary dial, and release the brake pedal. Your vehicle is then free to roll.
3. Car Wash Scenario: In an automatic car wash, it’s advised to shift to neutral and turn off auto brake hold. It’s also recommended to remove the antenna as it is susceptible to breakage on top of the cab.
It’s important to note that these methods may vary based on the specific model and year of the Ford Maverick. Always refer to the owner’s manual for the most accurate instructions.
