Hello and Help (gearshift stuck, in Switzerland)

Hello,

I just purchased a used smart to cruise around town in and take my little boy to school. I have only had it for 2 days and when I went to drive it this morning It won't let me start it. It appears to think that it is in gear but it is in Neutral.

Any suggestions? I am sure it is probably user error , but we are in a french speaking region and I don't speak french so I am afraid to take in to the dealer until I have a better understanding of what the issue might be.

Thanks.
Carly

I talked to him Friday late morning, and he does speak some English. He's in the workshop of THE official smart concessionaire nearest you. If you have any issue, PM me!
Good luck!
