To do so, insert a pin (1), e.g. ball point pen, into the
covered opening below the position "D" of the shift
pattern. While pushing the pin down, move selector
lever from position "P".
After removal of the pin from the opening, the cover will
not close fully. Only after moving the selector lever to
positions "D+" and "D–" does the cover return to its
closed position.
