IMPORTANT Reverse may only be
engaged when the vehicle is at a
standstill. With the engine running,
wait for at least 2 seconds with
the clutch pedal fully pressed before
engaging reverse to prevent
damage to the gears and grating.
To engage reverse R from neutral, lift
ring B under the knob and at the
same time move the gear lever
to the right and then backwards (as
shown in the diagram).

WARNING
80) Depress the clutch pedal fully to
change gear correctly. Therefore,
the floor area underneath the
pedal unit must not be obstructed
in any way. Ensure that the floor
mat is always laid flat and does
not interfere with use of the
pedals.

IMPORTANT
21) Do not drive with your hand
resting on the gear lever as the
force exerted, even if slight, could
lead over time to premature wear
of the internal gearbox
components. The clutch pedal
should be used only for gear
changes. Do not drive with your
foot resting on the clutch pedal,
however lightly. For versions/
markets where provided, the
electronic clutch control could cut
in by interpreting the incorrect
driving style as a fault.
