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 or Neutral – N
To move the gear selector from P or N to another gear selector position, the engine must be running, the brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition must be in mode II.
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.
Messages in the instrument panel
If the gear selector is locked in position, a message will appear in the instrument panel, e.g. Press brake pedal to activate gear lever.
There is no mechanical shiftlock function.1
