The reverse gear should only be engaged when the vehicle is
stationary and with the engine idling. Before engaging the position
"R R " from the positions "P P " or "N N " the brake pedal must be
depressed and the lock button in the selector lever handle must
also be pressed.
The reversing lights come on when the selector lever is in the "R R "
position with the ignition switched on.

To move the lever out of neutral when stationary or at speeds
below 5 km/h and with ignition switched on depress the brake
pedal and press the lock button in the selector lever handle.

The four gears are shifted up and down automatically depending
upon engine load and vehicle speed.
Under certain driving conditions it is advantageous to engage one
of the following described selector lever positions.
3 3 – – P P o o s s i i t t i i o o n n f f o o r r " " h h i i l l l l y y " " r r e e g g i i o o n n s s
The 1 1 s s t t , 2 2 n n d d and 3 3 r r d d gears are shifted up and down automatically
depending upon engine load, road speed and selected programme
(E E or S S ). The 4 4 t t h h gear is not engaged. This increases the engine
braking effect when the accelerator pedal is released.
This selector position is recommended in situations where the
gearbox alternates frequently between 3 3 r r d d and 4 4 t t h h gears in the
"D D " position.
