3 Clutch pedal
<Manual transmission vehicles>
•
Do not operate the vehicle with your foot on the
clutch pedal as doing so can shorten the service
life of the clutch. Driving with your foot on the
clutch pedal could prevent engine braking and
exhaust braking from taking place.
•
Depress the clutch pedal fully when changing
gear. If you do not depress the clutch pedal far
enough, the clutch will slip, possibly damaging
the clutch discs.
4 Foot rest
<Vehicles with a DUONIC system>
Gearshift lever
<Manual transmission vehicles>
WARNING
Do not keep your hand on the gearshift lever
in the neutral position while applying a for-
ward or backward force to the lever. This is
dangerous, as the vehicle could start moving
and cause an accident. In addition, it may
damage the transmission. Also note that if
you attach a commercially available exten-
sion to the lever, only a gentle force will
move the lever.
CAUTION
•
Shifting from a forward gear to the reverse
gear or vice versa, should be done only after
the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
When backing up, always double check to
make sure that there is nothing in your path.
•
Depress the clutch pedal fully whenever
changing gear. If you do not depress the
pedal completely, the clutch will slip and the
clutch disc will be damaged, which could
lead to an accident.
