Starting and Driving
130
When the vehicle is stationary and the igni-
tion is in ON position, if you want to shift
from Drive (D) to Reverse (R) or Park (P),
you must press the unlock button and press
the brake pedal. If you want to shift to Neu-
tral (N), you only needs to push the shift
lever.
When the vehicle is moving, if you want to
shift from Drive (D) to Neutral (N), you only
needs to push the shift lever.
When the vehicle is stationary, the
ignition should be in ON position, oth-
erwise you can't shift from Drive (D) to
Reverse (R) or Park (P).
When the shift lever is in Drive (D) or
Reverse (R), if the you releases the
brake pedal, the vehicle will begin to creep
(on smooth road). If the road grade is less
than 8°, the vehicle will also creep. If the
road grade is more than 8°, the vehicle will
move backward slightly.
R (Reverse): Reverse driving gear
When the vehicle is stationary, if you want
to shift from Reverse (R) to Park (P), you
only need to press the unlock button on the
shift lever, and do not need to press the
brake pedal. You can directly shift from
Park (P) to Neutral (N) or Drive (D), and do
not need to press the unlock button or press
the brake pedal.
You can shift to Reverse (R) only
when the vehicle is stationary or the
engine is idling, otherwise it will cause dam-
age to the transmission.
N(Neutral): When the shift lever is in this
position, the transmission is in no-load
operation and the driving force of the
engine fails to be transmitted to the driving
wheel and also provide the braking function
to the engine.
When the vehicle is stationary and the
engine is started, if you want to shift from
Neutral (N) to Park (P) or Drive (D), you
must press the unlock button and press the
brake pedal; but if you want to shift from the
Neutral (N) to Drive (D), you just need to
push the shift lever.
When the vehicle is moving, if you want to
shift from Neutral (N) to Drive (D), you just
need to push the shift lever.
When the vehicle moves down the
slope, you are not allowed to keep
the shift lever to Neutral (N), otherwise the
braking function of the engine cannot be
made use to assist the driving brake for the
braking operation.
When the speed is less than 5km/h,
you can press the brake pedal and
simultaneously activate the solenoid to
unlock; when the speed is more than 7km/
h, the gears are locked.
