Rocking Function

The rocking function compliments the neutral lock function. For all changes from a non-driving range to a driving range, it is necessary to press the brake pedal (to release either the park interlock or neutral lock).

In situations where the driver will require to change the gear selection from 'R' to 'D', or from 'D' to 'R', without brake pedal input (car park maneuvering, 3 point turns or 'rocking' the vehicle from a slippery surface for example), the rocking function gives a 2 second lock delay when 'N' is selected on the TCS and the brake pedal is not pressed.
