WARNING
Do not depress the accelerator if changing the forward driving mode – risk
■
of accident!
Never move the selector lever to mode R or P when driving – risk of acci-
■
dent!
When the vehicle is stationery and the engine is running, the vehicle must
■
be held in mode D, S or R with the brake pedal. Even when the engine is
idling, the power transmission is never completely interrupted – the vehicle
creeps.
CAUTION
If the selector lever is moved to mode N while driving, the accelerator pedal
■
must be released and you will need to wait until the engine has reached its idling
speed before moving the selector lever to a forward driving mode again.
At temperatures below -10 °C, the engine can only be started in the selector
■
lever position P.
When stopping on a slope, never try to hold the vehicle using the accelerator
■
pedal – this may lead to gear damage.
