sounds when the vehicle is parked with
the gearbox in neutral (N) (the warning
sounds when the ignition key is turned to

ning and (1), (2) or (R) gear engaged, the
system turns on the buzzer and automat-
ically shifts the gearbox to neutral (N)
when:

not operated for at least 3 minutes;
❒the brake pedal is pressed for longer
than 10 minutes;
❒the driver’s door is opened and the ac-
celerator and brake are not operated

box.
