Zusammenfassung:	A control system for a motor vehicle of the type including an automatic transmission having a plurality of shift positions and an ignition switch. The system includes a push-button, module 85, adapted to be positioned in the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle proximate the vehicle operator and including a plurality of push buttons 96 corresponding respectively to the transmission shift position. Electrical logic moans 86 are provided to move the transmission to the shift position corresponding to the shift position selected by depression of the specific push button and an enuciator lamp 174 is associated with each push button. The lamp associated with the push button corresponding to the instantaneous position of the transmission is illuminated to provide a continuous indication of the present position of the transmission and all of the lamps associated with the various push-buttons are illuminated for a predetermined period of time following initial movement of the ignition switch to an activated position to provide a system check to ensure that the lamp display system is working properly. The instantaneous position of the transmission may also be displayed in symbol form in a window in the instrument panel immediately forwardly of the operator.
