My 2014 B-class has a dead (12v) battery (as well as other problems preventing it from being operational). The dealership wasn't able to fix it, but they "manually put it into neutral" so that I could tow it home. When I got it home I connected it to jumper cables so that I could open the trunk to empty it out. In the process of doing this the transmission shifted into park, and I cannot get it into neutral by pushing on the steering column stick. I'm going to need to tow it again though. Does anybody know the trick to "manually" put it into neutral? I couldn't find anything in the manual, and the only info I've found online is for Mercedes models with a gear shift between the front seats, not on the steering column (in that case there is a hole you stick a pen into to push a switch that unlocks the transmission).
