If your car is dead, you may be wondering how to put it in neutral. Here’s how:

  1. Park the car in a safe place.
  2. Turn off the engine and remove the key from the ignition.
  3. Open the door and get out of the car.
  4. Push down on the gas pedal until you feel resistance, then release it slowly so that the car moves forward a few inches (or centimeters). If you can’t move the car any further, try reversing it instead! ..
