The gear selector can be moved forward and
back freely between N and D. Other positions are
locked with a latch that is released with the inhib-
itor button on the gear selector.
With the inhibitor button depressed the lever can
be moved forwards or backwards between P, R,
N and D.
Automatic gear selector inhibitor
The automatic gearbox has special safety sys-
tems:
Parking position (P)
Stationary car with engine running:
•
Keep your foot on the brake pedal when
moving the gear selector to another position.
Electric gear inhibitor – Shiftlock Parking
position (P)
In order to be able to move the gear selector
from P to other gear positions, the brake pedal
must be depressed and the key position (p. 77)
must be II.
Shiftlock – Neutral (N)
If the gear selector is in N position and the car
has been stationary for at least 3 seconds (irre-
spective of whether the engine is running) then
the gear selector is locked.
In order to be able to move the gear selector
from the N position to another gear position, the
brake pedal must be depressed and the key posi-
tion (p. 77) must be II.
Deactivate automatic gear selector
inhibitor
If the car cannot be driven, e.g. due to a flat
starter battery, the gear selector must be moved
from the P position so that the car can be moved.
Lift the rubber mat in the compartment
behind the centre console and locate a
hole

tom of the compartment.
Search for a spring-loaded button down in
the hole with the key blade; depress the but-
ton with the blade and hold.
