Key was lost and needing to move vehicle a short distance (will tow it). Having trouble finding it. If not, suggestions for how I can get it into neutral so I can move it. Thanks!

Hello,

Here is a link to the owners manual of this vehicle.

Thank you! So it appears the shift lock is in in the engine compartment near the shift linkage then-correct? I had actually looked in the op manual but could not find this info. Is there anything similar I can do to unlock the steering column as well?

You possibly have to remove the lock cylinder in order to access the pin that locks the steering wheel. Let me know of any questions.
