Automatic gear selector inhibitor

The automatic gearbox has special safety systems:

Parking position (P)

  • Keep your foot on the brake pedal when moving the gear selector to another position.

Electric gear inhibitor – Shiftlock Parking position (P)

In order to be able to move the gear selector from P to other gear positions, the brake pedal must be depressed and the key position must be II.

Shiftlock – Neutral (N)

If the gear selector is in N position and the car has been stationary for at least 3 seconds (irrespective of whether the engine is running) then the gear selector is locked.

In order to be able to move the gear selector from the N position to another gear position, the brake pedal must be depressed and the key position must be II.
