Shiftlock
The automatic transmission's shiftlock function
helps prevent inadvertently moving the gear
selector between different positions.
There are two types of shiftlocks: mechanical and
automatic.
Mechanical shiftlock
The gear selector can be moved back and forth
between N and D. The other positions have a
shiftlock that is operated using the lock button on
the gear selector.
Press and hold the shiftlock button and move the
gear selector forward or backward between P, R,
N and D.
Automatic shiftlock
The automatic shiftlock has a separate safety
system.
From Park - P
To move to another gear from P (Park), the brake
pedal must be depressed and the ignition in
mode II.
From Neutral - N
If the gear selector is in N and the vehicle has
been stationary for at least 3 seconds (with or
without the engine running), the gear selector will
be locked in that position.
To move the gear selector from N to another
gear, the brake pedal must be depressed and the
ignition in mode II.

Deactivating the automatic shiftlock
The automatic shiftlock can still be disengaged
even when there is no electrical current to the
vehicle.
If the vehicle cannot be driven (e.g. due to a dis-
charged battery), the gear selector must be
moved to the N position so that the vehicle can
be moved.
Lift the rubber mat in the storage compart-
ment in front of the gear selector. Locate the
hole with a spring-loaded button in the bot-
tom of the compartment.
Press a small screwdriver or similar object
into the hole and hold it down.
Move the gear selector to N and release the
button.
4. Replace the rubber mat.
