Where is the gear shift unlock mechanism of a Mini R60 located?

Model: Mini Mini Countryman1, R60 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Transmission

In this video we can see where the button is located that is used to unlock the gearbox mechanism of the Mini R60. The gearbox lock can be caused by two factors: a fault in the car's linkage or transmission, or the parking slope of the car. If the car is positioned on a very steep descent, the gearbox could be automatically disabled by the system; this happens when the handbrake is engaged and reverse gear is selected. A third reason is cold temperatures in winter, as it may happen that after a very cold night, the gearbox does not activate. We just have to lift the gear lever gaiter - which is inserted by pressure - and underneath we find a white button that is clearly visible; we do not have to press it, but pull it out and the gearbox will unlock.
