OR
if the Emergency Engine Stop
switch is set to the STOP position;
– For 10 minutes, powering equip-
ment, if the D.E.S.S. key is installed

ther the D.E.S.S. key is removed
OR

NOTICE
Waking up the electrical
system repeatedly or using elec-
trical equipment will discharge the

Operating the Shift Lever
Apply brakes and immobilize vehicle,
then select the desired shift lever posi-
tion.
Release brakes.
NOTICE
When changing gear se-
lection, always completely stop the
vehicle and apply the brakes prior
to moving the shift lever. Otherwise
damage to the gearbox may occur.
Gradually press the throttle lever to
increase engine speed and thus en-
gaging the continuously variable trans-
mission (CVT).
At the opposite, when the throttle
lever is released, the engine speed
decreases.
Stopping the Engine and
Parking the Vehicle
WARNING
Avoid parking on steep slope as
the vehicle may roll away.
WARNING
Always put the vehicle in PARK
when stopped or parked to pre-
vent rolling.
WARNING
Avoid parking in places where hot
parts can start a fire.
When stopped or parked always bring
shift lever to park position. This is es-
pecially important when parking on
a slope. On very steep inclines or
if the vehicle is carrying a cargo, the
wheels should be blocked using rocks
or bricks.
Select the flattest terrain available for
parking.
