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.

Mechanische Schaltsperre

Shiftlock für Fahrzeuge mit großem Wählhebel.

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.

Automatische Schaltsperre

Die automatische Schaltsperre verfügt über ein eigenes Sicherheitssystem.

Aus Stellung P - Parken oder N - Neutral

To move the gear selector from P or N to another gear selector position, the brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition in mode II. For vehicles with the small gear selector, the engine must be running.

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.

Meldungen im Kombiinstrument

If the gear selector is locked in position a message will appear in the instrument panel e.g.

Wählhebel. Bremspedal treten, um den Wählhebel zu entsperren.

There is no mechanical shiftlock function.¹
