How do you put a Mazda tribute in neutral when the battery is dead?

To put a Mazda Tribute in neutral with a dead battery, locate the shift lock release. This is usually a small slot or button near the gear shift; you may need to remove a plastic cover to access it. Insert a flathead screwdriver or a similar tool into the slot to release the locking mechanism, then shift the transmission into neutral. Always ensure the vehicle is on flat ground and the parking brake is engaged for safety.
