I've tried do the steps as suggested per manual, so it does engage into emergency N and from the sound I can hear it does release hand brake, but the problems is after 2-3 seconds it engages back to P… is it because the vehicle didn't move it went back to P or something else

That's interesting it shouldn't go back to P for about 30mins, Is it battery is dead?

Sometimes a battery has just enough to trick the system so it might be easier to hookup a battery pack and get it started or moved. A tow truck drive told me that trick.
