Gear selector assemblies with Geartronic are unique in appearance and function. In addition to P/R/N/D modes they also have a "manual" (M) shifting mode.

The gear selector for Geartronic has the following functions:

• P  : Park position
• R  : Back-up (reverse).
• N  : Neutral.
• D  : Automatic shifting between all gears. (Does not apply when the mode selector is in winter mode (M), for further information see, Function/Shifting program/(Winter mode))
• M  : Manual shifting. There are three Hall sensors on the gear selector module (GSM). A permanent magnet on the cover in the gear selector lever affects the output signals of the Hall sensors to the gear selector module (GSM).
