Transmission
Driving with manual transmission
Fig. 203: Shift diagram on gear lever
e
When shifting gears, always make sure that the
clutch pedal is fully depressed and that the gear
is correctly engaged.
e
Always use an appropriately low gear upward and
downward slopes.
This ensures optimum engine power and braking
effect.
Shifting the transmission to neutral
The neutral position of the transmission is between
3rd and 4th gear.
Engaging reverse gear
e
You should only engage reverse gear when the
vehicle is stationary.
e
You can shift to reverse gear after overriding the
shifting lock by pressing the lever to the left.
The reversing lights come on when reverse gear is
engaged and the ignition is switched on.
Displaying current gear
The gear display B in the tachometer shows the
currently engaged gear.
Driving with the upshift indicator
Fig. 204: Upshift indicator A and gear display B
The consumption-orientated upshift indicator A
helps the driver develop a fuel-saving driving style.
Depending on the selected gear, engine speed and
accelerator pedal position, the upshift indicator lights
up, prompting you to shift to a higher gear.
e
Shift to the next-higher gear when the upshift
indicator lights up.
Observing the permitted engine speed
e
Before the red zone on the tachometer scale is
reached, shift to the next higher gear or take your
foot off the accelerator pedal.
If the red zone is reached during acceleration, fuel
feed is interrupted.
WARNING
Obstructed Pedals
Unsuitable or incorrectly secured floor mats and
other objects can restrict the movement of the
pedals or interfere with operation of the pedals.
e
Ensure the floor mats or other objects do not
interfere with the movement of the pedals.
