Abstract

A driving position selector for selecting at least the driving steps of the automatic transmission, “D”, “N”, “R”, “P”, which are selected by the driver over a control device and engaged by electro-hydraulic setting elements is provided. It is possible to disengage a parking position by a release device in the automatic transmission housing. An operating device is connected by a Bowden cable with a release lever of the release device. The swiveling motion of the release lever is not transferred to the Bowden traction cord, since the release lever can move along a Bowden traction cord suspended in the release lever.
