Abstract
A selector lever assembly for selecting and shifting to various driving modes in a vehicle transmission may have a rotary switch that is rotatably mounted in a housing, where the driving modes are assigned to the rotational range and separated from one another by a latching contour in a manner that can be felt by a driver, where the rotational movement of the rotary switch can be blocked by a locking contour, and where the locking contour and latching contour are integrally formed on the rotary switch.
