Background
On certain cars it can be difficult to move the selector lever from the P-position. This is due to a fault in the microswitch that is
fitted on the Shift-lock solenoid. To be able to select another position than P disconnect Shift-lock manually by pressing down the
key in the hole next to the selector lever, while at the same time shifting the selector lever to the N-position.
