Shift gears at suitable road speeds to safeguard the
transmission components. Avoid driving in high RPM’s (>3000
RPM).
When parking on an incline, gear alone may not be sufficient to
prevent the vehicle from moving. Always set the manual parking
brake in addition to shifting the gear lever into gear. It is also
recommended to turn the front wheels towards the road curb.

This gear is to enable the vehicle to move in the reverse direction.
Move the gear lever into this position only after the vehicle has
come to a complete stop and the gear lever is in neutral position.
The reverse lock ring located immediately below the gear shift knob
must be pulled upward while moving the shift lever to the reverse
(R) position.
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.
