Shift Lock Override, Function
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mercedes-Benz C230 and 2003 Mercedes-Benz C230. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If it is not possible to engage a drive position from selector lever position "P" due to a mechanical or electrical/electronic fault, the selector lever position "P" lock can be released using the shift lock override function.
To do this, the coin holder in the center condole must be un-clipped and a suitable tool must be used to pressed on the lever (90) through the guide (95) beneath it (arrow). The selector lever position "P" lock is released via a bolt in the lock solenoid valve. The selector lever can be moved from position "P" by simultaneously operating the lock lever.
