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.
