To unlock the automatic gearbox of the Mercedes CLK, first turn on the ignition. Then, press the button located under the D next to the gear lever.

To press this button deeply, use a thin object. While holding this button, the gearbox will be unlocked, allowing you to move it manually.

Releasing the button will lock the gearbox again; this happens when the control unit detects too many errors, preventing the gearbox from functioning. To permanently unlock the gearbox, you will need to resolve these issues.
