Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A hydraulic shifting device for an automatic transmission for engaging and disengaging a parking lock. The shifting device comprises a parking lock cylinder ( 203 ) for actuating the parking lock, and a parking lock valve ( 201 ) which, for hydraulic control of the parking lock cylinder ( 203 ), can be switched to at least first and second shift positions. In this case the hydraulic shifting device comprises a further parking lock valve ( 202 ), and the two parking lock valves ( 201, 202 ) and the parking lock cylinder ( 203 ) are designed and connected with one another in such manner that the parking lock can only be disengaged by pressurizing the parking lock cylinder ( 203 ) if the two parking lock valves ( 201, 202 ) are each switched to a particular shift position.

First claim
