• The selector mechanism and the selector lever cable must have freedom of movement during this, if necessary, replace the selector lever cable or service the selector mechanism.

- Move the selector lever into the "P" position.

- Position the selector shaft on the transmission to the "P" position. The detent lever must engage in the parking lock gear; both front wheels are blocked (cannot be jointly turned in one direction).

• It should be possible to push the selector lever cable onto the selector shaft ball stud. Adjust the selector lever cable if necessary.

- Carefully press the selector lever cable onto the selector shaft ball stud. Do not bend the selector shaft when doing this. Otherwise shifting can no longer be adjusted precisely.

• The set screw is only accessible when the selector lever is in the "S" position.

• Only loosen the set screw - do not remove it.

- Carefully press the selector lever cable - 1 - onto the selector shaft ball stud. Do not bend the selector shaft when doing this. Otherwise shifting can no longer be adjusted precisely.






• Ignore - 2 and 3 -.

- Carefully move the selector lever slightly forward and backward without shifting to a different selector lever position.

- Tighten the set screw for the selector lever cable in this position using the socket and key (T40031) to 10 Nm.
