Overriding selector lever lock
Upshifts and downshifts are executed only
when they will result in a plausible combination
of engine and vehicle speed; thus, for example,
a downshift that would cause the engine to
overrev will not be executed by the system. The
gear selected is briefly displayed in the instru-
ment cluster, followed by the gear actually in
use.
Should the selector lever refuse to move out of
position P even though the ignition is switched
on, the brake is depressed and the button on
the selector lever is pressed, the selector lever
lock can be overridden:
1.
2.
Unclip the sleeve of the selector lever.
Pull the sleeve up over the selector lever

steering wheel.

When you use the shift paddles on the
steering wheel to shift gears in automatic
mode, the transmission switches to manual
mode.
If you do not accelerate or shift gears using
the shift paddles for a certain amount of
time, the transmission switches back to
automatic mode.
3.
Using the screwdriver from the onboard
vehicle tool kit, refer to page 229, press the
red lever while moving the selector lever to
the desired position.
If the selector lever is in the M/S gear
plane, manual mode remains active.<
