2016 SS 6MT
Can a 2016 CAMARO SS 6MT be push started? You know, by rolling it and popping the clutch, in the case of a dead battery. Years ago I went back and forth to work that way for a week until I got paid and could buy a battery, LOL. I parked on hills.

Ha! You plan on buying a new 16 SS and in 4 or 5 years not having $75 to go down to the local walmart and buy a new battery?
Actually I used to do the same thing with an old 67 bug I had in college, it was light enough that I didn't even have to park pointing downhill. I could push it out of a head-in parking place and get it going fast enough to start on a level parking lot. Won't be able to do that with an SS. |

Though...if the battery dies...will the electronic parking brake be able to disengage in order to roll it? |

7000ft, your showing your age here, I also had a 67 bug with 6 volt battery that my dad and I pushed just about every morning in the winter to go to school. It was a bitch. I'm showing my age now also.

So how would the vehicle be towed? there's gotta be a manual override of some sort.

Didn't think about that, no ignition key, just a push button that does nothing when pushed with a dead battery. Between that and the elec parking brake set I guess you would be hosed

All it says in the manual under towing, jump starting, and the electronic parking brake is this to our topic is this:
"...The vehicle was neither designed nor intended to be towed with any of its wheels on the ground... Have the vehicle towed on a flatbed car carrier. A wheel lift tow truck could damage the vehicle. Consult your dealer or a professional towing service if the disabled vehicle must be towed." Anyone want to run down their battery and find out what happens? |
