Electrical Components
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Volkswagen Beetle. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Due to the build-up of static electricity in the human body, a person can receive an electric shock when metal objects are touched.
This charge can damage the electrical/electronic components of the transmission and the selector mechanism when touching them.
-- Touch a grounded object such as a washer fluid hose or a hoist before working on electrical/electronic components. Do not touch connector terminals or >>open<< electronic components directly.
