Putting a Ford Maverick in 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.
