In the case of power failure, the transmis-
sion selector lever can be manually un-
locked, e.g. to tow the vehicle.

Insert a pin 1, e.g. ball point pen, into 
the covered opening below position D 
of the shift pattern.
Perform the following two steps simul-
taneously:
Push pin 1 down.
Move selector lever from 
position P.
Remove pin 1.

After removing the pin from the open-
ing, the cover will not close fully. Only 
after moving the selector lever to 
positions D+ and D- does the cover re-
turn to its closed position.
The selector lever is locked again when 
moving it to position P.
