40)
To engage the gears, press the clutch
pedal fully and put the gear lever into
the required position (the diagram for
gear engagement is shown on the knob
).
To engage reverse R from neutral, lift
the ring 1 fig. 98 under the knob and at
the same time move the lever to the left
and then forwards.
To engage 6
th
gear (if present), operate
the lever by pressing it towards the right
in order to avoid engaging 4
th
gear by
mistake. The same applies to the shift
from 6
th
to 5
th
gear.
IMPORTANT Reverse can only be
engaged when the vehicle is completely
stationary. With the engine running, wait
for at least 2 seconds with the clutch
pedal fully pressed before engaging
reverse to prevent damage to the gears
and grating.
IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should
be used only for gear changes. Do not
drive with your foot resting on the
clutch pedal, however lightly. In some
circumstances, the electronic clutch
control could cut in by interpreting the
incorrect driving style as a fault.
WARNING
112) Depress the clutch pedal fully to
change gear correctly. It is therefore
essential that there is nothing under the
pedals: make sure the mats are lying flat
and do not get in the way of the pedals.
IMPORTANT
40) Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted, even if
slight, could lead over time to premature
wear of the gearbox internal components.
