Gear selector inhibitor
There are two different types of gear selector
inhibitor - mechanical and automatic.
Mechanical gear selector inhibitor
G021351
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 inhibitor 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
systems:
Parking position (P)
Stationary car with engine running:
•
Keep your foot on the brake pedal when
moving the gear selector to another posi-
tion.
Electric gear inhibitor – Shiftlock
Parking position (P)
To be able to move the gear selector from P
to other gear positions, the brake pedal must
be depressed and the remote control key
must be in position II.
Shiftlock – Neutral (N)
If the gear selector is in the N position and
the car has been stationary for at least 3 sec-
onds (irrespective of whether the engine is
running) then the gear selector is locked.
To be able to move the gear selector from N
to another gear position the brake pedal must
be depressed and the remote control key
must be in key position II (p. 71).
Deactivate automatic gear selector
inhibitor
If the car cannot be driven, e.g. due to a flat
battery, the gear selector must be moved
from the P position so that the car can be
moved.
Lift out the contoured insert in the com-
partment behind the centre console and
locate a spring-loaded button in the bot-
tom of the compartment.
Press and hold the button.

tion and release the button.
