If you have to exit the car and it is pulled through the car wash you need to engage TRANSPORT MODE aka TOW MODE.
  • Keeps the car in Neutral
  • Prevents parking brake from engaging once you get up
> Controls/Service/Towing/Hold Transport Mode button until it turns blue.

You may also want to turn off the rain-sensing automatic wipers.

Thank you! I thought I read that tow mode only stays active for 20 minutes. I guess, if true, that's long enough to get thru the car wash.
