How to disengage the park position while the vehicle is not running?

[TraumaLaugh]

Are you familiar with the presence of a button in some automobiles that enables shifting from park mode even when the car is not running? Does this possess that?

Yes. The term used is "Neutral Hold" and the owner's handbook in Chapter 5 provides two identical techniques for activating it. (Single-handed vs dual-handed). I have not personally tested it, since I have not used an automated vehicle wash.

Is it not a hybrid?

I do not own a hybrid vehicle.

The information may be found in both the Phev and Mhev Owner Manuals.

I disagree with the topic being discussed. Both approaches need starting the vehicle. I am referring to a situation when your spouse has departed with the automobile keys, and you need the vehicle to be relocated from the driveway. Undeniably, not all automobiles include this feature. While my Silverado does not have the feature, the Camry does has it.

I own a third key that has been programmed for the same situation you have described, or in the event that my key has inadvertently detached from my pocket and I am unable to locate it.

Manipulating a vehicle weighing 5000 pounds would not be desirable under any circumstances. Even a little slope will result in unstoppable momentum once it starts moving.

I understand the subject matter of your conversation. The previous model of our Infiniti vehicle included a designated slot located near the shifter, which allowed the insertion of the key to release the shifter and facilitate the transition from the Park (P) position to Neutral (N). I am unaware of the method by which it is achieved on the CX-90. The handbook does not provide any information about it. Have you tried manipulating the gear selector when the car is not in operation?

Regrettably, it is not feasible to transition into neutral while the engine is off. There is a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) available on this issue. You may get it at the following link: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2024/MC-10252377-0001.pdf

Similar to the shifter, I find this to be a suboptimal design decision. The solution in the Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) involves repositioning the vehicle using dollies. The original poster (OP) could consider purchasing a set of keys or just obtaining a duplicate key.

Here is the resolution. LOL

The event has not occurred yet, and it is unlikely to occur in the future. I am only inquiring about the presence of the capability. Thank you for the comment.
