into the required position.
• Reverse can only be engaged when the car 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.
• To engage reverse R from neutral, lift the sliding ring under the knob and
shift the lever to the right and back.
NOTE: do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal, however lightly.
