Automatic Shift Lock (ASL)
The Automatic Shift Lock (ASL) in Park (P) and Neutral (N)
prevents drive positions from being engaged inadvertently, which
would cause the vehicle to move.
To release the ASL, depress and hold the brake pedal with the
ignition switched on. Press the release button on the selector lever
at the same time.
The ASL is not engaged if the selector lever is moved quickly
through Neutral (N) (e.g., when shifting from Reverse (R) to Drive
(D/S)). This makes it possible to rock the vehicle backwards and
forwards if it is stuck in snow or mud. The ASL engages
automatically if the brake pedal is not depressed and the lever is in
Neutral (N) for more than about 1 second and the vehicle is
traveling no faster than about 3 mph (5 km/h).
In rare cases, the ASL may not engage on vehicles with a DSG
®
automated transmission. If this happens, power to the drive wheels
will be interrupted to prevent the vehicle from moving unexpectedly.
