All gear selector assemblies are the Geartronic version. In addition to the selector positions P/R/N/D, there is also a position for "manual" shifting (Geartronic).

The gear selector has the following functions:

• P :  Park
• R :  Reverse
• N :  Neutral
• D :  Automatic shifting between all gears.
• +/- :  Manual shift function. The indicators for both + and - are illuminated when manual mode is active.
• Three Hall sensors are mounted on the gear selector module (GSM). A permanent magnet on the gear selector actuates the sensors' output signals on the gear selector module (GSM).
