This section describes how to manually release
the selector lever on right-hand drive vehicles.
The manual release mechanism is located on the
right underneath the selector gate. Releasing the
selector lever requires a certain degree of practi­
cal skill. We therefore advise you to obtain pro­
fessional assistance.
To release the selector lever, you will need the
screwdriver from the vehicle's tool kit, which is
located in the luggage compartment
¢ page 242. Use the flat-blade side of the rever­
sible screwdriver insert.
