Neutral manual Mode

If you do tow a short distance, you need to put the car into Ig-On before you can put the car into Neutral. In Off or ACC, the parking pawl is engaged, and cannot be manually disengaged.
Hmm, Toyota should have incorporated or leave the feature same as on the 'Classic' They used to come with manual release under the dash at
driver's side. I remember in those days, so many time the ACC battery
will go flat and if we couldn't find a Jump Starter in order to push the Prius
back to the shop the Tech just released the _detent_ very easily. No need or we could'nt engage it to IG-ON with power depleated otherwise......
But then in those days, the drive-by-wire were hooked to the fuel supply
signal processing and then had the "Mechanical" Shift lever..
