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 discharged 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 compartment in front of the gear selector. Locate the hole with a spring-loaded button in the bottom 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.
Replace the rubber mat.
