Lord just get to the point we all know how we got here lol thanks tho
Sarah Cruz Turned a 3 second task into a 3:17 video 😂😂
Tell me about it. My car was parked in the middle of a busy ass intersection when I needed this.

Lmao goddamn I thought the same thing
It's what makes subaru a subaru, to annoy its customers.
Start at 1:50, then skip to 2:45 if you want quick and simple!
good info, worked for my 2010, but dude, this could be 20 seconds long....
Anxiously awaiting the details of this for the Outback (2018)
Good gracious. This could have been a 20-second video. Helpful, but took forever to get to the point.
So helpful!!! Currently sitting in my forester waiting on my husband to find a long enough screwdriver to get my car out of the garage!!
Same here, we accidentally left the trunk door open and now the battery is dead :(
Thank you for the info. This has got to be one of the worst designed parts on any car - not just a Subaru. If you are 20 miles from nowhere and don't have a long screw driver you are just plain screwed. Unbelievable. That could have easily been a simple button that is pushed to unlock the transmission. This should be the stuff of a class action lawsuit.
dude you saved my brother‘s life with this, thanx
Thanks for this-I used it today!
How about how to unlock steering wheel? If car is in garage, and you need to push it out, you might also need to turn the wheel.
Just insert the ignition key and turn it to unlock
What if you don't have the key?
No key. It’s push start
Thanks for the tip!!! I got a 2014 Outback and the same thing happened dead battery and the car was in between the garage and the driveway was cleaning the car out lol.. end up using a paint brush to put it in Neutral since all my screwdrivers are too small in my trunk is locked
Thanks for some excellent instructions that saved us at the last minute! 😀
GREAT video. My son accidentally left the car light on in the garage, so I couldn’t understand why it wouldn’t just shift into neutral. This video was perfect and I’m keeping a screwdriver in my car from now on!
Thanks for this video! Needed it last second after rolling the car out dead in neutral! Found that a CHOPSTICK works just as well to stick it down there and release the transmission! I'll be keeping that in the glovebox! And now i know what that little circle is in the upper left by the shifter. Oh always learning! :)
I’m not waiting this long for an answer. I’m calling a tow truck. It’s a dead battery, I know the reason I’m stuck here, now I feel stupid on top of being stuck.
Thanks worked perfectly
Thx! I was stuck at the pump and the car wouldn't go into neutral to push away to charge it up. A guy found your video and this tool was in the car. And, yes, this video was way too long. We were dying (me and the guy who pushed me away) wondering how to move this thing to a safe distance to charge it. I was ready with my charger, but didn't count on the gears being stuck or no charge left at all.
Ty. Worked great
After you get the car cranked, then what do you do? Do just pull the screwdriver out and the use the gear shifter or do you have to do something to re-engage it?
I’m the only owner of a 2008 Subaru Tribeca, she just turned over to 31,000 miles😊
She’s regularly serviced and very loved.
Is there an easy way to fix the puddle light bulbs? They just went out this past week on one side.
Thank you.
The video starts at 1:50. For mine you had to put the screwdriver in and gently pull toward you while testing the gear shifter to see if it is free. (foot on brake).
Also does not unlock the steering. Other than that thank you very much for the video. It worked for me.
Can someone share how they got it to work for a 2018 Subaru Outback. I can't find they he ever did a video for it. Thanks.
Holy shit. Skip to 1:27 to finally get to useful info.
Can you jump start the crosstek on a downhill by putting it in gear once it starts to roll?
Thank you
I know how to get it N but how to steer if the steering locks? How do you unlock a lock steering on push start button if your battery is dead?
FYI This works on a 95 Legacy, too. Have to pop the trim piece around the shifter off and then stick your small screwdriver in the hole.
Legacy/Outback??? I have a 19 legacy how do you do it?
Had to quickly get the car started. Took forever to get to it. Video: Pop the cap by the shifter. Stab a 5inch stick in. DONE.
I have a 5 inch stick in my pants-will that work? 🤔
Never mind on the 2018 Outback neutral bypass, I found it myself...
Woodenarrows where is it?
Help, where is the video for the Outback?
Does this damage the transmission?
What if your electronic parking brake is also engaged??
3 minute video for a 10 second explanation. Pop open cap near shifter. Use your car key to depress the button. Now shift. Done.
why dont you try this on a 2017 Acura MDX
Does steering work or no?
Got it into neutral but the wheels still won’t turn. Anyone know why?
Had to power the battery with a lithium jump starter (don’t turn on the car) and then it allowed me to shift to neutral. 2009 xt
wheres the chase and how do i get you to cut to it
I went on a cruise for a week and my 2018 impreza sport's battery was dead. Is this normal for imprezas? I have read they have battery draining issues. Any recommendations. I took it to Auto zone and they said battery is fine.
A guy at Subaru recently confirmed what we all knew, that modern cars drain batteries with all their crap even when nothing is really on. The only thing he recommended, because I'm bad at sporadic driving too, is to give it a good drive, often. With mine it's 3 weeks. Except in cold. Except when the battery doesn't charge to capacity. Except when the recent drive doesn't really give a good charge and has all those battery convenience drains (in, out, stop, start). Every start needs a good drive. A guy recently got stuck pushing a plane back from the taxiway from starting and stopping and saving the engine time ($) during a long wait. Big mistake. It's a similar battery and engine.
It’s a harshly long video all to say put a screwdriver or other long skinny object in the little circular port by your shift knob. Was in a rush with my fiancee and jumper cables.
Good vid though and it was correct, skip to 2:39 if you want the answer fast
Tried it with 2019 Forester, won't shift...
Screw driver that comes with it in the back of the car!! That’s a whole other issue when the battery dies...I keep my jumper cables in the trunk, which you can’t access when the car dies, and it opens to the back so you can’t even wrap your arm around it to reach into it from the back seat. Love Subaru but that is a huge design flaw unless there is something I’m missing...???
Can someone explain WHY they made it so hard to do this? Got stuck at an airport parking lot and didn't have a screwdriver handy. What a pain.
OMG I wish they would just GET TO THE POINT
when people want this info they want the cliff notes . . . not so much commentary. And title should note it doesn't work on outbacks . . . one of the most popular models!
I agree with Sarah, I was thinking the same thing, just get to the point, about the other videos..........what listen to you talk about nothing for the first 90% and the 10% on point
Does not work at all on my 2021 forester
Skip to 2:47 to get the information you need.
Still waiting in this tip for the 2018 Outback...
Exactly what I needed; thank you kindly. Not a wasted breath.
ALL SUBARUS?! My 2016 doesn’t have that “little thing above the p” WHAT
No screwdriver came with my 2017 legacy. I’m going to go down to my local dealership and raise hell!
1:33 Is where it starts.
😊
Time stamp for you guys: 2:38
Pop off the circular cap by the shift lever with a flathead and insert the screwdriver into the hole.
Not the Tribeca !
Thanks for the video. What a stupid design. I thought the future was supposed to improve ease of use. Girlfriend and I took forever trying to get a screwdriver that would fit and we were both late for work.
Let me conclude for you, use a flat head scroll driver to pop up the cap beside the shift nob, then plug in a long cross-bar scroll driver, then shift!
More helpful than the video. Quicker too lol.
Just sayin. Why do you have to manually unlock shifter when the battery is dead. Thats dumb. I like advanced features in cars don’t get me wrong but having this controlled by something that requires power is a bad idea.
Could have done without the explanation of every reason this could happen and just do it 😆
This video could have been an email
He starts at 2:45
Less talk more shift to neutral
2:47
so any way to make a short story long
Video starts at 2:35
Skip to 2:45
2:34 until he actually shows how to do it 😢
Yeah yeah....thnx and all.....but good fucking gawd man, sometimes just help the people ffs
40sec video turned to 1hour lecture
You do have to push down on the screwdriver, which wasn't mentioned.
This video is painfully too long. It could have been 15 seconds
this could have been a 30 second video. what is wrong with this world thinking we want all the fluff.
I search natsuki subaru, not a a car lol
Go to 1:47 for how to do it instead of all the talking
holy Shi**** to theeee point
doesn't work for outback's... video couldve been 9 seconds
Omfg! He talks too much!
ArbyEmannuel Thank you!!!!!
I was saying the same thing. OMG, this guy is horrible.
Step 1. Drive manual
One of the stupidest design "enhancements" ever.
Ok so get to the point! This could be a 10 second video, not 3 minutes. It's raining out, car is dead, and I'm in a hurry! Brevity is best, skip the fluff next time.
Too much talk, to little action. This should be condensed to a short.
Stop talking about your screwdrivers
Just shut up and do it. Stop listing a bunch of different scenarios
talks way way way too much, ill find another video
Way too long. Get on with it. Five seconds would have done it.
That was painful to watch.
Dude... how about getting to the point.
Jesus so annoying bro get to the damnn info we are looking for 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Get to the damn point next time man
Jesus Christ get to the point
GET TO THE FUCKING POINT
Dude stop talking
Bla bla bla bla bla for one min video
Painful intro
Wayyyyyyyy too much talking dude
Oh my God stop running your mouth
This video could have been done in 30 seconds. What a waste of time
God you talk too much.
