Abstract

An actuating device for shifting stages of a transmission, wherein a displaceable actuator for the manual selection of a shift stage (or driving mode) is provided, which can be adjusted into a plurality of positions. At least some or each of the positions can be assigned necessary conditions for the engagement of a shift stage assigned to the position. If the actuator is displaced into a position for which the conditions necessary for the same are not fulfilled, the associated shift stage is not engaged in the transmission and corresponding first signaling is carried out. Fulfillment of the necessary conditions of the associated shift stage following the displacement of the actuator into the position assigned to the shift stage or following the displacement in the direction of the associated position for the associated shift stage leads to the shift stage in the transmission being engaged.
