How to manually reset the gearbox of the Mercedes Actros MP2

Model: Mercedes Actros MP2, MP3 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Transmission

The Mercedes Actros is a range of heavy trucks produced by Daimler Truck, powered by a range of diesel engines, including 6-cylinder engines and a V8 engine: it has won numerous times the "Truck of the Year" award, the latest being in 2020. In this video we can see how to manually reset the gearbox of the Mercedes Actros with automatic transmission: we do not turn on the instrument panel, but we have to press the two buttons that are on the right and left of the control lever (we cannot call it a gearbox); in this way we will do the big reset. Once this is done, we turn on the instrument panel and as soon as the "N" appears, we can start.
