With the engine running and a gear range
●
selected, the vehicle will move when the
accelerator is pressed.
Never engage reverse gear while driving.
●
Unintentional movements of the vehicle
●
could cause serious injury.
As a driver, you should never leave your
●
vehicle if the engine is running and a gear
range is engaged. If you have to leave your
vehicle while the engine is running, you
must always apply the handbrake and put
the selector lever in position N.
Never engage the R gear range when the
●
vehicle is moving.
Never leave the vehicle without applying
●
the handbrake. With the engine running the
vehicle moves downhill regardless of the
gear range selected.
Note
If, while driving, the selector lever is acci-
dentally placed in position N, lift your foot
off the accelerator. Wait until the engine is
running at idle speed before selecting a
new gear range.

CAUTION
When accelerating, the gearbox auto-

gearbox only shifts gear when the engine
can no longer exceed the maximum engine
speed.
Driving with automatic gearbox
The gearbox changes gear ratios automati-
cally as the vehicle moves.
Driving down hills
The steeper the gradient, the lower the gear
you will need to select. The lowest gears in-
crease the engine braking work. Never go
