Operation
Note
●
If the select
or lever lock does not engage,
there is a fault. The transmission is interrup-
ted to prevent the vehicle from accidentally
moving. Follow the procedure below in order
for the selector lever lock to engage again:
–
With a 6-speed gearbox: press the brake
pedal and release it again.
–
With a 7-speed gearbox: press the brake
pedal. Move the selector lever to posi-
tion P or N and subsequently engage a
gear.
●
Despite a gear being engaged, the vehicle
does not move forwards or back. Proceed to
the next mode:
–
When the vehicle does not move in the
required direction, the system may not
have the gear range correctly engaged.
Press the brake pedal and engage the
gear range again.
–
If the vehicle still does not move in the
required direction, there is a system mal-
function. Seek specialist assistance and
have the system checked.
