Description (français)

Dans certaines conditions, le cliquet peut ne pas accrocher la denture de l'engrenage de stationnement lorsque le sélecteur de rapports est mis à "Park", ce qui permet au véhicule de rouler librement s'il est arrêté en côte sans frein de stationnement. En outre la marche arrière peut rester en prise si le sélecteur est déplacé très lentement de la marche arrière au point mort.
