Selector lever lock

The selector lever lock in position P or N prevents gears from being engaged inadvertently, which would cause the vehicle to move.
To release the selector lever lock with the ignition switched on, depress and hold the brake pedal. Press the lock button in the selector lever at
the same time.
The selector lever lock is not engaged if the selector lever is moved quickly through position N (e.g. when shifting from R to D/S). This makes it
possible, for instance, to rock the vehicle backwards and forwards if it is stuck in snow or mud. The selector lever lock engages automatically if
the brake pedal is not depressed and the lever is in position N for more than approximately 1 second and the vehicle is travelling no faster than
approximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
In rare cases, the selector lever lock may not engage in vehicles with a DSG
vehicle from accidentally pulling away. The green indicator lamp
procedure to engage the selector lever lock:
Move selector lever to position P or N and then select a driving position.
WARNING
Engaging an incorrect selector lever position can cause you to lose control of the vehicle, which can lead to accidents and serious injuries.
Never depress the accelerator pedal when selecting a position.
When the engine is running, the vehicle starts moving as soon as a selector lever position is engaged and the brake pedal is released.
Never select reverse gear or engage the parking lock while the vehicle is in motion.
WARNING
Unintentional vehicle movements can cause serious injury.
The driver must never leave the driver seat when the engine is running and a position has been selected. If you have to leave the vehicle
while the engine is running, always switch on the electronic parking brake and move the selector lever to position P.
If the engine is running and the selector lever is in position D/S or R, the vehicle must be held on the foot brake. The vehicle will creep
forward even when the engine is idling, as power transmission is even then not fully interrupted.
Never select positions R or P when the vehicle is in motion.
The drive wheels are locked mechanically.
May only be selected when the vehicle is stationary . To disengage this selector lever position,
depress the brake pedal and also switch on the ignition.
Reverse gear is selected.
May only be selected when the vehicle is stationary .
The gearbox is in the neutral position. No force is transmitted to the wheels and the braking
effect of the engine is not available.
Normal programme D:
All forward gears are shifted up and down automatically. The timing of the gear shift is
determined by the engine load, your individual driving style and the speed of the vehicle.
Sport programme S:
The forward gears are automatically changed up later and down earlier than in selector lever
position D. This exploits the engine's full power.
The timing of the gear shift is determined by the engine load, your individual driving style and the
speed of the vehicle.
You change between the normal programme D and sport programme S by tapping back the
selector lever once out of gear position D/S
