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.

Mechanical shiftlock

p5-1507-gear shift lock

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.

Automatic shiftlock

The automatic shiftlock has a separate safety system.

From Park - P

To move to another gear from P (Park), 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.
