Selector Lever Emergency Release From P Position, With Selector Lever Boot, Activating

• The shift lock solenoid -N110- locks the selector lever in the position P. The selector lever can shifted out of P with ignition on or motor started, separate brake pedal and pressed button on the selector lever head. Refer to SELECTOR MECHANISM, CHECKING .
• If voltage supply to selector lever lock solenoid is missing (battery discharged, fuse faulty) or the solenoid is faulty, the selector lever cannot be shifted out of the P position. for example the vehicle cannot be moved because the parking lock is engaged.

If this is not the case:

-- Check fuses, refer to the appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS information.

-- Check the battery voltage. Refer to General Information .

If the selector lever still cannot switch out of P, the emergency release of the solenoid can be executed. If the selector lever is then switched back into P, this is locked again in the position P.

Procedure 

-- Remove the side of the selector lever boot with a flat blade screwdriver or with the trim removal wedge 3409 and pull it upwards -arrow- to the handle for the selector lever. In order to loosen it, the 3409 must go on the lower edge of the side.
