In order to unlock the automatic transmission of the Opel Astra, you will need to lever with an object such as a screwdriver to remove the cover of the central tunnel located at the base of the gear selector: once this is detached, it will be possible to lift the leather covering around the selector.

Once the covering is lifted, a white tab can be identified that needs to be pressed: in this way the gear selector will be unlocked and it will be possible to move it to put the transmission in neutral.

After the procedure, the covering can be repositioned.
