Chassis 03-8
These three positions are not fixed, i.e. after the lever has been
moved it jumps back to the centre position.
Manual operation
This method of operation allows the driver to select a suitable
gear according to the conditions under which the vehicle is
being driven. Switch gears as follows:
• Move the lever in the direction of (+) to shift up or in the
direction of (-) to shift down. Do not let go of the gas pedal
while you are shifting gears.
The system will only allow you to shift when such an action
will not prevent the motor or the transmission from functioning
correctly. As soon as the motor reaches idle speed, the system
will automatically shift down (e.g. when braking).
Automatic operation
The lever must be pressed in the direction of A/M in order to
switch automatic operation on or off. The system automatically
shifts gears on the basis of the vehicle‘s speed, the engine rpm
and the position of the gas pedal. If necessary, the system will
shift down one or more gears when you press the gas pedal to
the floorboard. This will provide you with the required perfor -
mance and torque to achieve the acceleration you require.
Parking the vehicle
To ensure that the vehicle is safely parked, step on the brake
pedal and then shift into either first gear or reverse (R). Further -
more, when parking on a slope, you must also pull the hand
brake.
If you want to shift into first gear when in reverse gear
(R) or vice versa, the gearshift lever may only be moved
when the vehicle is standing completely still and you are
stepping on the brake pedal.
Never leave the vehicle when the transmission is in neutral
(N).
If the vehicle is not moving and you have already shifted
into gear, always step on the brake pedal until you have
decided to start driving. Only then should you release the
brake pedal and slowly step on the gas pedal.
If the vehicle is not moving and the engine is running for
a longer period of time, we recommend that you shift to
neutral (N).
Do not use the gas pedal as a means of holding the ve-
hicle in one spot (e.g. on a slope). Instead, use the brake
pedal and step on the gas only when you start to drive.
