To avoid transmission damage, shift into or out of reverse gear
only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the
engine is at idle speed. It is recommended you wait
approximately for three secs. in neutral gear before shifting into
or out of reverse gear.
For brief stops, e. g. at traffic lights, keep the gear shift in
neutral and hold the vehicle with the brake pedal. For prolonged
stops, it is recommended to switch OFF the engine and apply
the parking brake. When stopping the vehicle on an uphill
gradient, do not hold it with the clutch/accelerator; use the
brake to avoid unnecessary clutch wear/heat buildup.
Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle or with access
to an unlocked vehicle. Children could move the gear lever,
which could result in an accident or serious injury.
On slippery/wet road surfaces, never downshift in order to
obtain braking action. This could result in a wheel slip and
reduced vehicle control.

To prevent the engine from labouring at a low RPM when driving
uphill gradients or with your vehicle heavily loaded, downshift when
necessary to maintain engine RPM within the best torque range.
Similarly, while driving downhill, downshift to utilise the engine
braking in an optimum manner.
