Manual release of the selector lever
Fig. 198
Selector lever: manual release from
position P.
The selector lever can be released manually if
the electrical power supply should fail.
The manual release mechanism is located
under the selector lever console on the right
side. Releasing the selector lever requires a
certain degree of practical skill. We therefore
advise you to obtain professional assistance.
A screwdriver will be needed to carry out the
manual release. Use the flat part of the
screwdriver blade
Removing the cover from the selector lever
–
Apply the handbrake
the car does not move.
–
Carefully pull the corners of the selector
lever boot and fold up the selector lever
boot (inside out) by hand.
Releasing the selector lever
–
Using a screwdriver, press and hold the yel-
low unlocking tab sideways
›››
–
Now press the interlock button on the se-
lector lever
A
and move the selector lever
to position N.
–
After carrying out the manual release, at-
tach the selector lever boot on the gearbox
console again.
If the power supply should ever fail (dis-
charged battery, etc.) and the vehicle has to
be pushed or towed, the selector lever must
first be moved to position N. This is possible
after operating the manual release mecha-
nism.
WARNING
The selector lever may be moved out of posi-
tion P only when the handbrake is firmly ap-
plied. If this does not work, secure the vehi-
cle with the brake pedal. On a slope the vehi-
cle could otherwise start to move inadver-
tently after shifting the selector lever out of
position P - accident risk!
