Driving
If the accelerator pedal is not depressed after the parking brake is released, the
vehicle may move forwards: use the brake pedal to hold it on the service brake.
Moving away gear
Move the ring (2) of selector (1) from position "N" to position "D".
In automatic made, the system engages the optimal gear in relation to vehicle load and road
contour.
The system serves to select moving away gears only as high as 6th low.
It is possible to change the moving away gear, but the use of an unsuitable higher
gear may lead to premature clutch wear.
Moving away uphill
Start the engine; the correct moving away gear will be engaged upon changeover to mode
"D".
Depress the brake pedal and release the parking brake.
The vehicle moves forward.
YOUR VEHICLE MAY BE EQUIPPED WITH A "HILL-START CONTROL" TO HELP IN
MOVING AWAY ON UPHILL GRADIENTS. WHEN THIS FEATURE IS ACTIVATED
(SWITCH (A2)), THE BRAKES ARE KEPT APPLIED FOR 1 SECOND AFTER THE BRAKE
PEDAL IS RELEASED. IF NO ACTION IS TAKEN BEFORE THIS PERIOD ELAPSES (AC-
CELERATION, BRAKE PEDAL APPLIED AGAIN), THE BRAKES WILL NO LONGER BE
KEPT APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE WILL START TO ROLL BACKWARDS.
