Driving your SR3 SL
Once you are on the road/track, and up to speed,
then it is just a matter of accelerating, and pulling
the right-hand paddle.
A very slight delay will be felt as the engine ignition
is cut, and the system selects the next gear.
CHANGING TO A LOWER GEAR
When changing down the gearbox, simply brake
where you need to and operate the left-hand
paddle. The Radical SR3 SL has a throttle
autoblipper function fitted as standard, so the
system will blip the throttle for you and select the
gear. When changing down from second to first,
it is recommended to use the clutch.
STOPPING
Neutral can only be selected from first gear;
change all the way down to first gear and pull the
left-hand paddle with the clutch depressed.
NOTE: It is recommended that gearchanges are
not made while experiencing wheelspin, such as
exiting slow speed, hard acceleration corners, as
this can damage the gearbox. Select reverse only
when stationary.
AFTER DRIVING
Following a prolonged drive on the road, and
always after using your SR3 SL on-track, allow the
engine to idle for approximately 5 minutes, so that
the engine and turbocharger to cool down whilst
being lubricated. This will help ensure the
long-life and continuing reliability of your car.
