STARTING AND DRIVING THE VEHICLE
Do not shift the gearshift lever to the "N" position while driving.
This will lead to loss of engine braking and in turn increase the
braking distance/effort to stop the vehicle. If you return the
gearshift lever from "N" to "M" mode, the appropriate gear will
be selected according to the vehicle speed.
In "M" mode, though the gear change is done manually, if the
vehicle speed does not necessitate an upshift, then you will not
be able change to higher gear till the required vehicle speed is
met. The same holds good for downshifts too, you can shift to a
lower gear only when the vehicle speed meets the
recommended speed for that particular gear.

When the "R" mode is selected, the vehicle can be driven in the
reverse. The same is displayed in the cluster also.
Tap the gear shift lever towards bottom to activate reverse "R"
mode.
To avoid damage to the transmission system, ensure the
vehicle comes to a complete stop before changing from "A"/
"M" to "R" mode and vice versa.
