The gear selector assembly of Geartronic has a unique design and function. In addition to the lever positions it also has a mode for "manual" (MAN) shifting.

The gear selector lever for Geartronic has the following functions: 

• P  : Park
• R  : Reverse
• N  : Neutral
• D  : Automatic shifting between all gears (unless (W)  Winter mode is engaged)
• MAN  : Manual shifting. Three Hall sensors are fitted on the gear selector module (GSM). A permanent magnet on the gear selector lever acts on the sensor output signals to the gear selector module (GSM)
