GF27.10-P-2008P Shift-lock, function
- TRANSMISSION 722.6


Function
The term shift lock combines the functions which, in addition to the parking brake, offer an additional safeguard for the vehicle to prevent it moving off unintentionally.

Included in this are the functions of locking the selector lever position "P" and locking the ignition switch as well as the park pawl in the transmission.

The function of shift lock only permits shifting out of selector lever position "P" when the transmitter key (A8/1) has been turned into position "Ignition: ON" and the brake pedal is operated.

In order to ensure that after parking the vehicle the selector lever is shifted into selector lever position "P", the transmitter key (A8/1) can only be turned towards "0" in this position of the selector lever and removed from the EIS [EZS] control unit (N73) (locking of ignition lock, function).

The vehicle is secured mechanically by blocking the park pawl gear.

In the event of electrical, electronic or mechanical faults it is possible to unlock the selector lever position "P" manually (function of Shift Lock override).
