Parking Lock

Parking Lock

The parking lock secures the vehicle to prevent it from rolling away. When the vehicle is stationary it is electrically applied by a solenoid valve as requested from the selector lever

The parking lock "locks" the output shaft of the gearbox when the linking rod (2) is extended to pivot the pawl (4) to engage in the gear teeth of the parking lock disc gear wheel (1). The parking lock will hold the vehicle on uphill or downhill gradients of up to 32% and will only engage at speeds below 2 km/h. The Mechatronic Control Module will prevent the parking lock from engaging at speeds above 2 km/h.
