Front centre console: Manual release of the selector lever
Fig. 1 Front centre console: Manual release of the selector lever
Applies to vehicles: with multitronic/S tronic/tiptronic
The selector lever can be released manually if the electrical power supply should fail.
To access the manual release mechanism, remove the ashtray*.
Loosen and remove the small cover cap from the mounting unit Fig. 1.
Use a screwdriver or similar object to press down the pin, which is now accessible, and hold it down.
Now press the interlock button on the selector lever and move the selector lever to position N.
The selector lever can only be moved out of position P when the ignition is switched on. If the power supply should ever fail (discharged battery, etc.) and the vehicle has to be pushed or towed, the selector lever must first be moved to position N. This is possible after operating the manual release mechanism.
