Claim 12:
13. A gearbox controller configured to control an automated manual gearbox of a vehicle, wherein
the gearbox controller is configured
to receive gearbox control signals from a monostable toggle switch actuatable by a user in exactly two deflection directions to select among a plurality of driving levels of the gearbox controller,
to output signals to a visual device for graphically display of a gearshift diagram having driving levels selectable by the toggle switch;

the gearbox controller has a further driving level which is not selectable by the toggle switch,
in response to movement of the toggle switch in one of the two deflection directions when the further driving level is selected, the gearbox controller causes the further driving level to be exited,
the visual device has at least one display configured to display a symbol which indicates the one of the two deflection directions of the toggle switch which will result in the further driving level being exited,
the gearbox controller is configured to control the at least one display to only display the symbol when the further driving level is selected,
the further driving level is arranged in a gearshift gate between driving levels neutral and drive, and
the gearbox controller is configured to shift from the further driving level into the driving level neutral or the driving level drive depending on which of the two deflection directions the toggle switch is moved.
