Owners of other Hyundai, Genesis or Kia vehicles such as the Sonata, Accent, Veloster, Ioniq, Kona, Nexo, Venue, Tucson, Santa Fe, Palisade, G70, G80, G90, Soul, Sportage, Niro, Sorento, Telluride, Rio, Forte, Optima, Stinger, Cadenza, K900, Sedona and Seltos may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

The only tool needed to access and activate the gear selector's shift lock mechanism is a small flat head screwdriver or a small plastic pry bar tool.

The first two steps are to engage the emergency / parking brake and place your foot on the brake pedal to keep the car from moving unexpectedly.

Insert the blade of the small flat head screwdriver into the notch on the bottom of the small black plastic cover with the words "Shift Lock Release" printed on it in white lettering.

Gently pry out the small plastic access cover and set it aside in a safe place.

Push down the black plastic button to release the shift lock mechanism.

Keep your foot on the brake pedal and set the emergency / parking brake to make sure the vehicle doesn't move unexpectedly.

Keep any other people away from the front and rear of the vehicle. Release the parking brake while still pushing down the brake pedal.

Carefully move the car into the position required.

Once you are done manually moving the disabled vehicle, shift the gear selector back from "Neutral" to "Park".

Make sure that the words "Shift Lock Release" are in the correct orientation. You should be able to read the words on the cover when you are sitting in the front seats. (Do not force the cover in when the words are upside down.)

The plastic access cover should "pop" securely into place.
