How to Unlock the Automatic Gearbox of a Fiat Freemont

Model: Fiat Freemont MK 1 - Years 2011-2016
Part: Transmission

If the engine fails to start for any reason, you cannot operate the gear lever to move it from the Parking position to Neutral, making it impossible to organise the movement of the vehicle. Designers have anticipated this situation, and all cars with automatic gearboxes feature a manual unlock system for the gear lever. In the case of the model in question, the unlock button for the gear lever is located beneath the armrest in the bottom of the glove compartment, next to the AUX socket. First, remove a plastic protective cap to access the red button that allows you to unlock the automatic gearbox lever.
