ELECTRONIC GEARBOX SYSTEM
GENERAL
Vehicle stationary, engine running
If the vehicle is stationary for a long time with the engine running, then the gearbox changes automatically to neutral.
Stopping the engine
Before switching the engine off, you must choose:
To leave the vehicle in neutral; for that, place the lever in position N
To leave the vehicle with a gear engaged (1st or 2nd or Rse); for that, place the gear lever in the respective position
In this case, the vehicle cannot be moved.
II
In all cases it is essential to apply the parking brake.
It is possible within a limited time to reꢀengage a gear, even if the engine is switched off.
Before any operation in the engine compartment, check that the gearbox is in neutral and that the parking brake is
applied.
Acceleration
The accelerator pedal may have an endꢀofꢀtravel switch. If so, to obtain extra acceleration you can action this switch
by pressing the pedal hard down.
Starting on a gradient
If starting on a gradient, accelerate gradually while releasing the handbrake.
If you have had to stop on a gradient, you are recommended not to use the accelerator to maintain the vehicle’s
position.
In the event of prolonged slipping of the clutch, the driver
is alerted by the vehicle vibrating. It is necessary to use the
brakes to hold the vehicle.
