GF27.10-P-2008SK Shift lock, function
- Transmission 722.6

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.

These include the functions of locking the selector lever position "P" and locking the ignition switch as well as the park pawl in the automatic transmission.

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

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" and removed from the electronic ignition switch control unit (N73) in this position (ignition lock locking function).

The vehicle is secured mechanically by blocking the parking lock gear.

In the event of mechanical or electrical/electronic faults selector lever position "P" can be unlocked manually (function of Shift-Lock-Override).
