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 brake pedal must be depressed and the ignition in mode II. For some transmission variants, 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.
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
