I just would want to be prepared so that I wouldn't necessarily have to wait for a tow, if it did freeze up.
it seems like a good idea when you are infornt of the service bay.
The thing is, you never know when your actuator will fail. This was my case.

I tried manually releasing it so many times but didnt work. The next day, the check engine light came on.

The replaced the actuator, reset codes and it was fine.
