Driving
Note
●
If the lever is moved accidentally to N
when driving, release the accelerator and
let the engine speed drop to idling before
selecting gear range D or S again.
●
Should the power supply to the lever be
interrupted in position P, it will not be pos-
sible to move the lever. If this should hap-
pen the manual release can be used

page 208.
Note
●
If the selector lever lock does not engage,
there is a fault. The transmission is inter-
rupted to prevent the vehicle from acci-
dentally moving. To lock the selector lever
again, press the brake pedal, place the se-
lector lever in the P or N position and then
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
malfunction. Seek specialist assistance
and have the system checked.
