Manual gearbox
The function of the gearbox is to change the
gear ratio depending on speed and power
requirements.
Gearshift pattern 6-speed gearbox.
The 6-speed box is available in two versions -
reverse gear position differs between them.

on the gear lever.
•
Depress the clutch pedal fully during
each gear change.
•
Take your foot off the clutch pedal
between gear changes.
WARNING

parking on a slope - leaving the car in gear
is not sufficient to hold the car in all situa-
tions.
Reverse gear inhibitor

bility of mistakenly attempting to engage
reverse gear during normal forward travel.

gear lever and start from neutral position,
N

Gear shift indicator*
The gear shift indicator notifies the driver
when it is appropriate to engage the next
higher or lower gear.
An essential detail in connection with environ-
mental driving is to drive in the right gear and
to change gear in plenty of time.
An indicator is available as an aid on some
variants - GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) - which
notifies the driver when it is appropriate to
engage the next higher or lower gear in order
to obtain the lowest possible fuel consump-
tion.
However, taking into consideration characte-
ristics such as performance and vibration-free
running, it may be advantageous to change
gear at a higher engine speed. The framed
number indicates the current gear.
