Transmission range selector
E112313
The transmission range selector is located on the
center console and is mechanically connected to
the transmission by a cable for operation of the
gear selector shaft and the TR (transmission range)
sensor.
As well as the positions P/R/N/D, the transmission
range selector provides a position for the sport and
select-shift mode (S). The manual gear position
can be selected at any time while driving. The gear
selected is locked until the driver selects another
gear.
The engine can only be started in positions P or
N.
The selector cable adjustment mechanism is at the
transmission end of the selector cable.
NOTE:Details of the exact procedure and
specifications can be found in the current service
literature.
