Before you shift to reverse gear, bring
your vehicle to a complete stop and
depress the clutch pedal fully.
Do not shift into reverse gear when the
vehicle is moving forward.
While shifting the gears, it is
recommended to shift at the speeds
given in the table.
You can get extra braking from the
engine when slowing down by shifting
to a lower gear.
This can help you to maintain a safe
speed and prevent your brakes from
overheating while going down a steep hill.
CAUTION
•
Avoid excessive revving up of engine
rpm.
•
Idling the engine for long duration
must be avoided.

engine may stall and will be switched
‘OFF’. This is done to safe guard the
transmission system.
