So I googled F25 technical training document and did find the procedure discussed here, but with more details. I just copy what I saw. It is on public domain.

*The electronic transmission emergency release can only be used if the engine does not start but the starter still cranks.
*Before operating the electronic transmission emergency release, secure the vehicle to prevent it from rolling
*Depress and hold the brake pedal throughout the entire process
*Press the start/stop button - the starter motor will crank for a specific amount of time

1. Press the shifter release button and hold it pressed
2. Move gear selector forwards one step(not all the way) and hold it there for two seconds (no more, no less)
3. Release the gear selector switch and move forwards again briefly one step (not all the way)

When the transmission position "N" is displayed in the instrument panel (KOMBI) - the transmission is unlocked electronically.
