How To Get a 2004-2009 Jaguar XJ8 Out of Park In an Emergency

Please make sure your parking brake is on or your wheels are blocked before doing this! The only exception to this rule is when the vehicle needs to be towed with the rear wheels on the ground. In this case, do not set the parking brake and hold the switch down in the release position while removing the key to prevent the parking brake from automatically setting. Then use the release lever to override the shift lock and simultaneously shift from park to neutral.
