Backup light and neutral start function

Operation of the backup lights and the ability to allow starter
operation in park and neutral positions only, has typically been a
direct function of the selector mechanism. DSG transmissions use a
combination of selector mechanism (E313) and Mechatronic unit
(J743) control to operate relays which enable these functions.

A97-00
½ The 13-fold relay panel is located above the micro central electric
panel under the driver’s side of the padded dash.
• Position 11 - Starter interlock relay (J207)
• Position 13 - Backup light relay (J219)
