How do you put the Acura in neutral with a dead battery?

Help! My Acura has a dead battery but I need to move it a bit to give it a jump start. How do I put it in neutral if I can’t start the car?

Oh no! Sorry to hear about your troubles! Hopefully, we can get you going in no time.
Here’s how to put your Acura in neutral with a dead battery:
  • Block the wheels from rolling, especially if you aren’t on level ground.
  • Locate the control shaft in the transmission (a very small knob).
  • Turn the knob counter-clockwise by about 30 degrees to put the car in neutral.
Once you’ve moved your car out a little, be sure to return the control shaft into its original position before starting your car.
Aside from learning to put your vehicle in neutral manually, you may also want to find a new
car insurance
 policy that includes additional coverage like
towing and labor coverage
. If you’re worried about the increased price,

Why do car thermostats go bad?
I just had to get my car’s thermostat replaced. That’s the second time I’ve had to do that with this car. The mechanic said it wasn’t related, but it seems weird that the same component should keep breaking. Why do car thermostats go bad?

How long does it usually take to receive the first bill for an auto loan?
I bought a new Ford Bronco at the beginning of the month, but I have not received a bill for my first payment yet and I am not sure how to pay. I called the lender listed on the agreement that I signed at the dealership, but they do not have my information. Should I be concerned?
