vehicle with the service or parking
brake. Conversely, on high grade
when driving in reverse (the gear-
change lever in position R) and on
rapid descent when driving for-
ward (the gear-change lever in
position D) the torque transmitted
to the wheels would be redun-
dant, and the use of the service or
parking brake is necessary.
Emergency mode
of automatic transmission
Automatic transmission can be
changed to emergency operation
mode (in this case the third gear is
switched on) if the vehicle moves in
very difficult conditions. For exam-
ple, when intensive slipping alter-
nates with emergency braking. This
can happen even with a fully opera-
tional system of the automatic trans-
mission. In this case, switch off the
ignition and wait for 3 seconds. Then
switch the ignition on: the vehicle
must start to operate properly.
If the automatic transmission con-
tinues to be in the emergency mode,
contact a certified SSNE.
Unlocking the gear-change
lever in the gearbox
When the storage battery is dis-
charged the gear-change lever can-
not be moved from position
Р , even if
press lock button 1 with the brake
pedal pressed.
In this case, to unlock the gear-
change lever shift down the white
unlock button, located under the
decorative cover of the lever on the
actuator drive housing to the right of
the lever.
Now you can switch the gear-
change lever from position P to posi-
tion N .
In order to ensure safety during
the operation, set the parking brake
and hold the brake pedal.
If you face problems when chang-
ing the gear-change lever of the
automatic transmission from position
P (parking), following all these oper-
ations, refer to the certified SSNE.
Recommended methods
of towing a vehicle with
an automatic transmission
The manufacturer recommends to
tow the vehicle equipped with the
automatic transmission, without sup-
104
port of the leading wheels or by the
method of complete loading of the
vehicle to a vehicle carrier with a
platform.
ATTENTION!
It is prohibited to tow the vehi-
cle equipped with the automatic
transmission, with the support of
front or all four wheels to the road
surface, as this may cause seri-
ous damage to the transmission
and subsequent costly repairs.
By way of exception you may tow
the vehicle with the support of all
the wheels to the road surface if
the transmission is in order and
the control drive is in position N
with a maximum speed of 20 km/h
at a distance of not more than 20
km. If necessary tow the vehicle
with raised rear wheels, the front
wheels must be supported by a
special trolley.
