If it is not possible to engage a drive position from selector lever position "P" due to a mechanical, electrical or electronic fault, the selector lever position "P" lock can be released using the shift lock override function.

This involves unclipping the stowage compartment in the center console and pressing (arrow) on the lever (2) by inserting a suitable tool (1) through the guide beneath this. The selector lever position "P" lock is released via a bolt in the lock solenoid valve. The selector lever can be shifted through simultaneous actuation of the lever (2) and selector lever from selector lever position "P".
