"P" is in the second detent.

• Make sure the transmission is in the "P" position (parking lock is engaged) if raising the vehicle. It must not be possible to turn the front wheels.

• The transmission is also in the "P" position if the vehicle does not move with wheels spinning freely.

- Install the cable with a loose adjustment bolt - arrow - and the new lock washers - A and B -, if they were removed earlier.






- Lightly tap the handle button forward and backward and make sure to keep handle in the "P" position.

This places the cable core in its optimal position.
