Gear Selector Lever Position
The current gear selector lever position (1) is indicated
in the gear range indicator display. The automatic gear
shifting process can be adapted to specific operating
conditions using the gear selector lever.
v Park Position
The park position is to be used when parking the
vehicle. Engage only with the vehicle stopped.
The park position is not intended to serve as a
brake when the vehicle is parked. Rather, the
driver should always use the parking brake in
addition to placing the gear selector lever in
park position to secure the vehicle.
NOTE: With a malfunction in the vehicle’s electrical
system the gear selector lever could remain locked in
position "P". To unlock the gear selector lever
manually, refer to "Transmission Gear Selector Lever,
Manually Unlocking".
t Reverse Gear
Shift to reverse gear only with the vehicle
stopped.
s Neutral
No power is transmitted from the engine to the
drive axle. When the brakes are released, the
vehicle can be moved freely (pushed or towed).
Do not engage "N" while driving as you may
otherwise lose control of the vehicle.
