Selector Lever

Selector Lever: The selector lever is located on upper right of the steering column. Shift position N, D and R are possible. The parking lock P is operated with a push button on the end of the selector lever (2).

All gearshifts are electrically controlled - there is no mechanical connection to the gearbox from this lever. The positions are indicated in the instrument cluster.

Selector Lever Positions in Automatic Mode
The shift pattern consists of positions R, N, D and the corresponding arrows. The selector lever can be moved from its mid-position by pulling back towards the driver (1). The lever can then be moved in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction and returns from each position automatically to the mid-position. Position P is separated from the shift pattern and is activated by pressing the push button at the end of the selector lever (2).

- Position R: With the brake pedal pressed, the selector lever must be pulled back and pressed as far as it will go in the counterclockwise direction (past detent).
- Position N: With position R engaged, N can be engaged by pulling the selector lever back and pressing it in the clockwise direction (up to but not beyond detent). When position D is engaged, position N can be engaged by pulling the selector lever back and pressing it in the counterclockwise direction (up to but not beyond detent). When position P is engaged, position N can be engaged by pulling the selector lever back and pressing it in either direction.
- Position D: With the brake pedal pressed, the selector lever must be pulled back and pressed as far as it will go in the clockwise direction (past detent).
- Position P: Position P is engaged by pressing the push button integrated in the selector lever. The parking lock is released by depressing the brake pedal and engaging position R, N or D.

Special Features

- The transmission can be shifted from the park position to position "N" only with the engine running (main pressure required) and the brake pedal depressed.

Automated Functions

- The park position is automatically engaged when the ignition key is removed.
- Position N is engaged automatically when the engine is turned off and the ignition is switched off with the key remaining in the lock. The park position is then automatically engaged after approximately 30 minutes. Position N can remain engaged for an additional 30 minutes if position N is selected again before the 30 minutes have elapsed.
