  • Page 50 Operation Operation Shifting between forward and reverse should be done at idling. Shifting at higher engine speeds can be un- comfortable for passengers and cause unnecessary stress on the drive-unit, or cause the engine to stop. If you attempt to shift gear at an excessive engine speed, a safety function cuts in automatically, and de- lays shifting until engine speed has fallen to 1500 rpm.
