Note
● If the selector lever lock does not engage,
there is a fault. The transmission is interrup-
ted to prevent the vehicle from accidentally
moving. Follow the procedure below in order
for the selector lever lock to engage again:
With a 6-speed gearbox: press the brake
–
pedal and release it again.
With a 7-speed gearbox: press the brake

pedal. Move the selector lever to posi-
tion P or N and subsequently engage a
gear.
● Despite a gear being engaged, the vehicle
does not move forwards or back. Proceed to
the next mode:
When the vehicle does not move in the
–
required direction, the system may not
have the gear range correctly engaged.
Press the brake pedal and engage the
gear range again.
If the vehicle still does not move in the
–
required direction, there is a system mal-
function. Seek specialist assistance and
have the system checked.
