A locking magnet parking lock is connected to the twin-clutch gearbox control unit (DKG). The parking lock is engaged when the locking magnet is supplied with current.

When the ignition is off, the locking magnet is no longer supplied with current by the twin-clutch gearbox control unit. The retaining tab moved back. The release lever becomes free. The parking lock is engaged on the twin-clutch gearbox through spring force via the cable.
