NEUTRAL
Disconnects drive to the wheels. Use the
parking brake while N is selected.
Do not use for vehicle recovery purposes.

TRANSMISSION FAULT
In the event that the transmission develops a
fault, a warning message may be displayed in
the message centre and only limited gears may
become available. You should seek qualified
assistance immediately.

Do not tow the vehicle if the gearbox
cannot be set in neutral.

Ok...so I know nothing about the workings of a car...but I don't uderstand the above at all. Firstly it says that you should not use Neutral for Recovery Purposes...and then it says not to tow the vehicle if the gearbox cannot be set in Neutral???

If you set the gearbox in N and tow the vehicle with (of course) the engine turn off, after few minutes the gearbox will automatically reset in P. You can imagine what that means?! If the gearbox can't be set in NEUTARL it means that your traction is blocked and of course this is not good for towing... In both cases your transmission is blocked!

RE: Gearbox fault!

So basically, it can't be towed! Which is something Tim had previously said I think...

RE: Gearbox fault!

When my parents went, it had to be put into neutral and then onto a flat bed

Sorry to hear about your incident, hope it's just a software glitch...

RE: Gearbox fault!

RE: Gearbox fault!

Having said that, an on-board diagnostics module like bell-services offer, might as well come in handy.
