– Neutral
N
The transmission is in Neutral in this position.
The brake pedal must be depressed to move the selector lever out of the posi-
tion N into position D or R when the vehicle is stationary and the ignition is
switched on.
R – Reverse gear
Reverse gear must only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary and the en-
gine is idling.
The brake pedal must be depressed before setting into position R from position
N.
When the ignition is switched on and the selector lever is in position R, the re-
verse lights will come on.
– Position for driving forward (normal programme)
D
When the selector lever is in this position, the forward gears are automatically
shifted up and down in line with the engine load, accelerator pedal actuation and
driving speed.
The brake pedal must be depressed before setting into position D from position
N.
Under certain circumstances (e.g. when driving in mountainous regions) it may be
beneficial to select the manual shift programme
order to adapt the gearbox ratios manually to the driving situations.
