Fig. 2 Manual release of the selector lever
The selector lever can be released manually if the electrical power supply should fail.
To access the manual release mechanism, remove the ashtray -B- via the release lever -A- Fig. 1.
Loosen and remove the small cover cap from the ashtray mounting unit.
Use a screwdriver or similar object to press down the pin, which is now accessible, and hold it down Fig. 2.
Now press the interlock button on the selector lever and move the selector lever to position N.
The selector lever can only be moved out of position P if the ignition key is inserted and the ignition is switched on. If the power supply should ever fail (discharged battery, etc.) and the Audi A5 has to be pushed or towed, the selector lever must first be moved to position N. This is possible after operating the manual release mechanism.
