Parking Lock



Parking Lock

The parking lock is a feature that secures the vehicle against rolling off. It is engaged electrically with the vehicle stationary by means of an operating magnet.
- The parking lock is engaged manually by pressing the P button on the gear lever when the speed signal is lower than 2 kph.
- The parking lock is automatically engaged when the ignition key is removed and the speed signal is 0.
- The parking lock is also automatically engaged when the engine is running and gear position D, N or R is engaged, the driver's door is opened and the driver's seat is unoccupied.
- The parking lock is only opened with the engine running and the brake pedal is operated by moving the gear lever into position R, D or N.
