In case of a power failure, e.g. when the 
battery is drained or disconnected, or in 

the event of an electrical malfunction, the trans-
mission lock must be manually released; other-
wise, the drive wheels are locked and the vehi-
cle cannot be towed.

<

When manually releasing the transmis-
sion lock, depress the brake pedal; other-

wise, there is a danger of the vehicle rolling 
when the transmission lock is manually 
released.
