and move the gear selector forward
or rearward once or twice to shift
between gears.
To select R, if D is currently selected,
depress the footbrake, move the gear
selector forward to select N, release
the pressure and let it spring back then
move it forward again to select to R.
WARNING: Always depress the
footbrake firmly whilst selecting
D or R, as the vehicle may move
even if the throttle is not de-
pressed.

or sudden vehicle movement
always select P or N if the vehicle

NOTE: To avoid unexpected or sud-
den vehicle movement wait for the
transmission to engage gear after
selecting D or R before depressing
the accelerator pedal.
A warning message will appear in the
