Gearshift Mechanism, Checking
Use Guided Fault Finding to determine electric faults. A mechanical fault or a faulty system or a faulty part must be found and repaired.
It is not possible to start the engine when the selector lever is in "R", "D" and "S" or in the tiptronic position.
If selector lever position "N" is selected at speeds greater than 5 km/h, the shift lock solenoid must not engage and block the selector lever. The selector lever can be moved into a another gear.
The shift lock solenoid must engage after approximately 1 second only at speeds below 5 km/h (almost standstill) and when the selector lever is moved into "N". The selector lever can be moved out of "N" only when the brake pedal is pressed.
Selector Lever in "P" and the Ignition Turned On:
- If the brake pedal is not depressed:
The selector lever is locked and cannot be moved out of "P" when the locking button is pressed. The shift lock solenoid blocks the selector lever.
- If the brake pedal is depressed:
The shift lock solenoid releases the selector lever. It is possible to shift into a gear. Slowly move the selector lever slowly from "P" through "S" ; while doing this, check whether display of selector lever position in instrument panel insert matches actual selector lever position.
The Selector Lever is in "N" and the Ignition Is Turned On
- If the brake pedal is not depressed:
The selector lever is locked and cannot be moved out of "N" when the button is pressed. The shift lock solenoid blocks the selector lever.
- If the brake pedal is depressed:
The shift lock solenoid releases the selector lever. It is possible to shift into a gear.
Selector Level in the "tiptronic" Position
-- Move the selector lever into the tiptronic gate.
"P R N D S" must change to "7 6 5 4 3 2 1".
The Ignition and Lights Must Be Turned On
The appropriate symbol is being lit up in shift mechanism cover.
