Selector lever lock (shiftlock)

The selector lever is locked in positions "P" and "N" by an electromagnet. The electromagnet is actuated by the EGS control unit. The selector lever lock is engaged when selector lever position "P" or "N" is detected and the ignition (terminal 15) is ON.

A position change is only possible at road speeds of less than 5 km/h and if the brake is applied at an engine speed of less than 2500 RPM.
