If the brake signal should fail due to a malfunction, manual unlocking is possible.

For this, the cover of the release mechanism must be removed and a suitable object (ignition key) pressed into the opening until the manual selector lever can be moved out of position "P".

NOTE: If "P" is selected again, the manual selector lever is locked again.
