Shift-by-Wire Shift Unit for Shifting a Transmission of a Vehicle
First Claim
1. A shift-by-wire shift unit for shifting a transmission of a vehicle between R, N, D and P states, including a mono-stable selector element that can be moved in opposite directions, wherein the shift arrangement is arranged such that the transmission states R and D can be reached by moving the selector element horizontally from the mono-stable position in a first direction and in a second, opposite direction, respectively, and including a separate input element for change to transmission state N, whereinthe shift unit is arranged such that the transmission state is changeable from D to R directly by moving the selector element in the first direction, and from R to D directly by moving the selector element in the second, opposite direction, andthe selector element includes a button element, and the shift unit is arranged such that, when the vehicle is at rest and the transmission is in D or R, actuating the button element effects a change to the transmission state P.
