t  It should not be possible to operate the starter while the selector lever is in position “S”, “D” or “R” or in the tiptronic position.
t  When travelling at speeds above 5 km/h and shifting into selector lever position “N”, the solenoid for the selector lever lock must not engage and block the selector lever. The selector lever can be shifted into a driving gear.
t  When travelling at speeds below 5 km/h (almost stationary) and shifting into selector lever position “N”, the solenoid for the selector lever lock should only engage after about 1 second. Selector lever cannot be shifted out of position “N” until brake pedal is depressed.
