Gear positions
Gearshift pattern 5-speed gearbox.
Gearshift pattern 6-speed gearbox.
The 6-speed box is available in two versions -
reverse gear position differs between them.
Look at the actual gearshift pattern imprinted
on the gear lever.
•
Depress the clutch pedal fully during each
gear change.
•
Take your foot off the clutch pedal between
gear changes.
WARNING
Get into the habit of always applying the
parking brake when parking on a slope - an
engaged gear is not sufficient to hold the car
in all situations.
06 Starting and driving
Manual gearbox
Reverse gear inhibitor
The reverse gear inhibitor hinders the possibil-
ity of mistakenly attempting to engage reverse
gear during normal forward travel.
•
Start from neutral position N and only
engage reverse gear R when the car is sta-
tionary.
NOTE
With the upper variant of the shifting pattern
for 6-speed gearbox (see previous illustra-
tion) - first press down the gear lever in the
N position in order to engage reverse gear.
