How to release the P gear on a Mercedes-Benz column shifter?

[OJoanna]

On a Mercedes-Benz column shifter, there is a button at the far right end (the top). Pressing this button will release the P gear. Similarly, to engage the P gear, you need to press this rightmost button. Most Mercedes-Benz models use a column shifter design. The default position is the N gear. Moving the shifter downward from N engages the D gear, while moving it upward engages the R gear. The raised part on the far right is the button that controls the P gear. Below is some related information about column shifters in cars: 1. There are two types of gear lever arrangements in cars: floor-mounted and column-mounted. When the gear lever is located under the steering wheel, it is called a column shifter. 2. It is called a "column shifter" because the lever is pulled toward the driver's body when shifting gears. The gear arrangement is the same as that of a conventional automatic transmission. 3. Column shifters are generally used in automatic transmissions. Common American cars with column shifters in China include the Buick GL8 and the older Regal models. German brands like Mercedes-Benz also frequently use column shifters, such as in the R, E, S, ML, and GL models.
