WARNING
Do not depress the accelerator when changing the position of
the selector lever if the car is stationary and the engine is running
- risk of accident!
Never move the selector lever into position R or P when driving
- risk of an accident!
When the engine is running and the vehicle is stationary, it is
necessary to hold the car with the brake pedal in all the positions
of the selector lever (except P and N) since the power transmission
is never completely interrupted, also not when the engine is idling
- the vehicle "creeps".

The selector lever position you have engaged is shown in the information
display of the instrument cluster with the corresponding gear symbol high-
lighted fig. 137. In the positions D and S the gear you have engaged will
be additionally displayed on the display.

The driven wheels are locked mechanically in this position.
The Parklock must only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary .
If you wish to move the selector lever into or out of this position, you must
press the Shiftlock button in the handle of the selector lever and at the
same time depress the brake pedal.
If the battery is used, the selector lever cannot be moved out of the posi-
tion P page 154.
