•
To avoid accelerated clutch wear, do not use the accelera-
tor to keep the vehicle at a standstill (for example, holding
on a hill); the clutch could be damaged by overheating.
Use the brake pedal instead and operate the accelerator
only when you are ready to drive away.
•
Only launch (from a stop) in second gear when you
need more control on surfaces with low traction.
•
Only shift between DRIVE (D) and REVERSE (R) gears
when the vehicle has come to a stop and the brake
pedal is pressed.
•
Although very inadvisable, if the vehicle is unexpectedly
allowed to roll downhill with the gearbox in NEUTRAL
(N) the system will automatically engage the gear best
suited to vehicle speed when a gear shift is requested to
allow drive to be correctly transmitted to the wheels.
•
If necessary, with the engine off, it is possible to engage
1st, REVERSE (R) or NEUTRAL (N) with the key in
ON/RUN/MAR position and the brake pressed.
•
During hill starts, accelerate immediately after releas-
ing the parking brake or brake pedal to allow the
engine to increase its rpm to a greater extent and
overcome higher gradients with more torque.
