Overview of gear lever and position P for small gear
lever.
For the small gear lever, use the P button
located next to the gear selector to activate
Park position. For the large lever, the park
position is activated by moving the gear lever

The gearbox is mechanically blocked when the
P position is engaged.
Select position P for parking. The car can start
in position P. The car must be stationary when

select P position.

ing on an inclined surface. Engaging a gear
or the automatic transmission's P position
is not sufficient to hold the car stationary in
all situations.

The system will change to P position automat-
ically:
•
if the car is switched off in position D or R.
•
if the driver unfastens the seatbelt and
opens the driver's door when the car is
running in a mode other than P.
To park a car without wearing the seatbelt and
with the door open - exit the P position by
selecting R or D again.
If the car is switched off in N position there is
no automatic change-over to P position. This
makes it possible to wash the car in an auto-
matic car wash.

Select position R to reverse. The car must be
stationary when the R position is selected.

depressed and the ignition position must be II.
