Emergency Release From P
Special tools and workshop equipment required
- Wedge Set :T10383
- Trim Removal Wedge :3409
- The Shift Lock Solenoid -N110- locks the selector lever in the position "P". The selector lever can only be shifted out of "P" with the ignition on or when the engine starts, and when the brake pedal is pressed and the button on the selector lever knob is pressed. Refer to SHIFT MECHANISM, CHECKING .
- The selector lever cannot be shifted out of "P" if the power supply to the Shift Lock Solenoid -N110- is interrupted (the battery is discharged or a fuse is faulty) or if the solenoid is faulty. The vehicle cannot be moved because the parking lock is set.
In this case:
-- Check the fuses. Refer to => Wiring Diagram.
-- Check the battery voltage. Refer to Battery, Checking .
- If the selector lever still cannot shift out of "P" despite Fault Finding, the solenoid must be emergency released. If the selector lever is then switched back into "P", it is locked again in the position "P".
Procedure
-- Pull the parking brake button to activate the electro-mechanical parking brake.
-- Carefully pry out the selector lever boot with the :T10383/1 on both sides in direction of -arrows- and then fold it upward.
-- With a screwdriver push the plastic part -1- from the top and hold it in this position.
- The solenoid releases the selector lever.
-- When the solenoid is released, press the button in the selector lever handle and move the selector lever out of "P".
Tip:
If the selector lever is shifted back into "P", the shift lock solenoid will mechanically lock the selector lever in the "P" position again. The solenoid must be released again.
