MANUAL TRANSMISSION
Do not apply any undue
lateral force to the gear
lever when changing from 5th to
4th gear as this could lead to the
inadvertent selection of 2nd gear.
Engage reverse gear only
when the vehicle is
stationary.
To avoid shifting noises when
engaging the reverse gear, wait
approximately three seconds with
the clutch depressed when the
vehicle is stationary.
To select the reverse gear, shift the
lever into the neutral position and
then press the lever fully to the
right against a spring pressure,
before pulling rearwards until it
engages.
