If you need to move the gear lever to the neutral position but cannot start the vehicle due to a flat battery, there is a manual procedure to overcome this issue: on the right side of the centre console, just below the gear lever, where the storage net is located, there is a plastic cap. By removing the plastic cap, you can access a slot through which you can unlock the gear lever by inserting a small screwdriver and pushing inwards; the designers have intelligently provided for this eventuality and equipped the device accordingly.
