| 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 the lever is shifted to position “N” with the vehicle moving at a speed of less than 2 km/h (virtual standstill), the selector lever lock solenoid should only engage after approx. 1 second. Selector lever cannot be shifted out of “N” position until brake pedal is depressed. |
| Selector lever in “P” position and ignition switched on: |
