Checking selector mechanism

The starter must not operate in the selector lever positions "R",
"D" or "S".
On right-hand drive vehicles, the starter must operate in selector
lever positions "P" and "N" only when the button in the gear knob
is not pressed.
When selector lever is shifted to position "N" at speeds above 5
km/h, solenoid for selector lever lock must not engage and block
selector lever. Selector lever can be shifted into a driving range.
When the vehicle is moving at speeds below 5 km/h (almost sta‐
tionary) and the selector lever is shifted to position "N", the sole‐
noid for selector lever lock should only engage after about 1
second. Selector lever cannot be shifted out of "N" position until
brake pedal is depressed.
