This prevents the vehicle from roll-
ing away when stopped. Do not
shift the transmission into position
P(Y page 187) unless the vehicle
is stationary.
The key can only be removed if the
transmission is in position P. If the
key is removed from the ignition
lock, the selector lever is locked.

Only shift the transmission to R
when the vehicle is stationary.

Do not shift the transmission to N

Releasing the brakes will allow you
to move the vehicle freely, e.g. to
push it or tow it.
If ESP

is deactivated or faulty:
only shift the transmission to posi-
tion N if the vehicle is in danger of
skidding, e.g. on icy roads.

Rolling in neutral N can lead to
damage to the transmission.
