Gear selector inhibitor
The gear selector inhibitor prevents acciden-
tal changing between different gear positions
in an automatic gearbox.
There are two different types of gear selector
inhibitor - mechanical and automatic.
Mechanical gear selector inhibitor
Gear selector inhibitor for cars with the large gear
lever.
The gear selector can be moved forward and
back freely between N and D. Other positions
are locked with a latch that is released with
the inhibitor button on the gear selector.
With the inhibitor button depressed the lever
can be moved forwards or backwards
between P, R, N and D.
Applies to cars with small gear lever

Automatic gear selector inhibitor
The automatic gear selector inhibitor has spe-
cial safety systems.
From park position - P
To be able to move the gear selector from the
P position to another gear position, the brake
pedal must be depressed and the ignition
position must be II. The engine has to be run-
ning for cars with the small gear lever.
From neutral position - N
If the gear selector is in the N position and the
car has been stationary for at least 3 seconds
(irrespective of whether the engine is running)
then the gear selector is locked.
To be able to move the gear selector from the
N position to another gear position, the brake
pedal must be depressed and the ignition
position must be II. The engine has to be run-
ning for cars with the small gear lever.
