Please first read and note the introductory information and
heed the WARNINGS →
Introduction
Automatic transmission vehicles have an Automatic Shift Lock
(ASL). With ASL, you must switch on the ignition, depress the brake
pedal and hold it down while pressing the release button on the
selector lever handle in the direction of the arrow → Fig. 139 to
move the selector lever out of Park (P) and into a drive gear. When
the selector lever is in Neutral (N), you also have to depress the
brake pedal before you can move the selector lever to
position (D/S), or Reverse (R).
If the ignition is switched on, either the current selector lever setting
or the current gear is shown in the instrument cluster display.
