Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class: Automatic transmission
WARNING
It is dangerous to shift the automatic transmission out of parking position P or neutral position N if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in reverse. You could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something. Only shift into gear when the engine is idling normally and when your right foot is firmly on the brake pedal.
It is only possible to shift the transmission from position P to the desired position if you depress the brake pedal. Only then is the selector lever lock released.
