Gearshift Mechanism, Checking

Never operate the starter when the selector lever is in "D", "S", "R" and the "tiptronic gate".

If selector lever position "N" is selected at speeds greater than 5 km/h, the shift lock solenoid must not engage and block the selector lever. The selector lever can be moved into a another gear.

For speeds below 5 km/h (almost standstill) and shifting into selector lever position "N", the shift lock solenoid must only engage after approximately 1 second. The selector lever can be moved out of "N" only when the brake pedal is pressed.

Selector Lever in "P" and the Ignition Turned on

• The brake pedal is not pressed:

Selector lever is locked and cannot be shifted out of position "P" with the locking button pressed. The shift lock solenoid blocks the selector lever.

• The brake pedal is pressed:

The shift lock solenoid releases the selector lever. It is possible to shift into a gear. Slowly move the selector lever slowly from "P" through "S" ; while doing this, check whether display of selector lever position in instrument panel insert matches actual selector lever position.

The Selector Lever is in "N" and the Ignition is Turned On:

• The brake pedal is not pressed:

Selector lever is locked and cannot be shifted out of "N" with the locking button pressed. The shift lock solenoid blocks the selector lever.

• The brake pedal is pressed:

The shift lock solenoid releases the selector lever. It is possible to shift into a gear.

Selector Level in the "tiptronic" Position

• Move selector lever into Tiptronic gate:

The "D" symbol illumination must go out in the cover and the "+" and "-" symbols must turn on.

The transmission range display in the instrument cluster must change from "P R N D S" to "6 5 4 3 2 1" when the selector lever is moved into the tiptronic gate.
