Selector Mechanism Emergency Release, Moving from P

The selector lever can shifted out of "P" with ignition on or motor started, separate brake pedal and pressed button on the selector lever head. Refer to => [ Selector Mechanism and Ignition Key Removal Lock, Checking ] 02EA (S-Tronic) Transmission.
