The selector lever is not locked when shifted quickly through N (e.g. from R to
D). This, for example, helps to rock out a vehicle that is stuck, e.g. in a bank of

than approximately 2 seconds without the brake pedal being depressed.
The selector lever is locked only when the vehicle is stationary and at speeds
up to 5 km/h.
