My car was towed recently and the driver couldn't get it into neutral with the car shut off. He started it, put it in neutral, shut it off, and started towing it, only to find out it switch back to park. A cop was getting my info at the time, so I wasn't paying attention to tell him that wouldn't work. Anyway, I ended up starting the car, putting it in neutral, and had him tow it with the car running. But the driver said he isn't supposed to start and tow running vehicles.
I search the owner's manual but couldn't find any info on how to engage neutral without starting the car. Say the car is disabled due to an accident or the battery is dead, any way to put it in neutral if it doesn't start?
Edit: Found this

Though I'm not sure it's that great of a solution. Having to jack up the car and crawl under it after an accident.
