The mechatronic system integrated into the All data exchange with the vehicle periphery gearbox housing is a new development, takes place via the drive system CAN, thus combining the hydraulic control unit, reducing the number of vehicle periphery sensors, actuators and electronic gearbox interfaces to a minimum (11 pins) and at the control unit in a coordinated assembly. same time enhancing operational reliability. SSP282_046 47 Gearbox In terms of the following functions, there are interesting new aspects to the shift mechanism in the new Audi A8 03: – Shift mechanism kinematics – Ignition key removal lock – Selector lever lock – Selector lever lock emergency release – Selector lever/lock button kinematics Ignition key removal lock Selector lever/button kinematics Major modifications have been made to To prevent inadvertent shifting into selector operation of the ignition key removal lock and lever position S, a change has been made to selector lever lock (shiftlock). On account of the selector lever kinematics such that the new entry and start authorisation switch switching to S involves pressing the button E415, there is no mechanical link between the in the gearstick knob. shift mechanism and ignition lock (locking cable). A small gear mechanism is provided in the gearstick knob to reduce the required button operating force. Selector lever lock emergency release
