Selector lever lock
In the P and N positions, the locking of the readout
lever prevents the readout lever from being

ignition and depress the brake pedal. Then press
the locking button on the selector lever in the
direction of the arrow.

If the N position is skipped, e.g. by shifting from
reverse gear to the D/S position, the lever does not
lock. This makes it possible, for example, to pull out
a stuck vehicle by "swinging" it. If the selector
lever remains in the N position for more than
approx. 1 second without the brake pedal being
depressed, the lever will not lock.
or driving at a speed of less than approx. 5 km/h (3
mph), the lever locks.
If, when the vehicle is stationary, the electronic
parking brake is not engaged and the brake pedal
is released with parking lock P engaged, the
vehicle may move a few centimetres forwards or
backwards.
If you accidentally shift to N while driving,
stop accelerating. Wait in neutral position
The engine must be allowed to idle before re-
