shows the selected position.
 To start the engine, the selector
has to be in position P or N .

- position P can be disengaged
only if you press the brake pedal,
- when a door is opened, an audi-
ble signal is heard if the selector
is not in position P ,

you leave your vehicle.
If the gearbox is in position P but
