Abstract

A device for actuating a park lock in an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle, in which a gear position selector can be used to set at least one drive-, neutral- and park position. When the park position is selected, a park lock that is operatively connected to the automatic transmission can be actuated, and it can then be activated or deactivated with an emergency actuator device that can be operated manually. The emergency actuating device has a toothed wheel (gear) that can be made to engage with a spur gear that is configured as an intermediate toothed wheel (gear). A first engaging element engages into a control cam provided on the spur gear and, when the spur gear moves, the first engaging element can be moved in order to activate and deactivate the park lock in the control cam.
