Default Parking brake when no power

When the vehicle has no power, I saw this video on how to get vehicle into neutral

https://youtu.be/W4-Wfn0d39w?si=RkNLzW-Rr4I0TKVN

question is after getting vehicle into neutral will the wheels roll or does parking brake automatically engage when there is no power? I’m trying to roll vehicle out of garage into driveway when vehicle will not start.

Tow truck company got here. Even with the red manual release lever, he turned it underneath the drivers footwell area. The emergency parking brake is on. So when power is out, emergency power brake turns on. Can’t roll the car.

have you ever heard of a policy that states tow truck will only tow if vehicle is on the street?

Red lever releases to transmission not a parking brake, Parking brake is electrical.

So how can you roll the car if the battery is dead. You can’t. What’s the point of this neutral override?

The red lever disengages the transmission to neutral and the electric brake will be released when the jumper cables are connected for a moment.
