Gear Selector Assembly

Gear selector assemblies with Geartronic are unique in appearance and function. In addition to modes they also have a "manual" shifting mode.
The gear selector for Geartronic has the following functions:
- : Park position
- : Back-up.
- : Neutral.
- : Automatic shifting between all gears. (Does not apply when the mode selector is in winter mode)
- : Manual shifting. There are three Hall sensors on the gear selector module (GSM). A permanent magnet on the cover in the gear selector lever affects the output signals of the Hall sensors to the gear selector module (GSM).
