Operation

The selector lever is guided and positioned in the shift gate. All the selector lever positions are recognized by
the electronic selector lever module control module (N15/5), coded and transmitted to the ETC control module
via CAN. See Fig. 149. In parallel to sending via CAN the selector lever positions "P", "R", "N", and "D" are
passed on mechanically to the range selector lever on the transmission side by means of a shift rod.
