Shiftlock
The automatic transmission's shiftlock function helps prevent inadvertently moving the gear selector between different positions.
Automatic shiftlock
The automatic shiftlock has a separate safety system.
From Park - P
To move the gear selector from the P position, 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.
Messages in the instrument panel
If the gear selector is locked in position, a message will appear in the instrument panel, e.g. Gear lever Press brake pedal to activate gear lever.
There is no mechanical shiftlock function.
