gear selector (Multitronic)
R (parking). In this position, the drive gear in the gearbox differential is locked. To do this, a special tooth engages with a wheel, which is located on the differential drive gear and is equipped with cams. In this position, the wheels are blocked and do not rotate. When parking, the selector should be set to the position «R», - of course, this can be done when the car is stationary. In order to remove the selector from this position, you need to press the brake pedal.
R (reverse gear). When this gear is engaged, the vehicle must be stationary and the engine idling. If reverse is erroneously engaged when driving forward, a safety valve prevents this changeover from a certain speed.
N (neutral position). In this position, there is no connection between the engine and the drive wheels. Unlike the position «R» in this case, the drive wheels are not blocked, since all clutches are disengaged and no wheel pair is held. In order to remove the selector from this position, you need to press the brake pedal.
D (drive unit). In this position, hydraulic pressure is applied to the forward clutch. Due to this, the engine torque is transmitted to the drive wheels. If the vehicle moves forward slightly, this can be prevented by light braking. When accelerating in this position, normal operation is ensured with all stages.
Selector lock. To set the selector to position «R» or «R», as well as to switch from the position «R», you must press the lock button, this button is located on the side of the selector. The engine can only be started when the selector is in the «R» or «N». If the selector is in position «R» or «ABOUT», start is prevented by the safety switch on the gearbox.
Ignition key lock. The ignition key can only be removed if the selector is in the P parking position.
