Gearbox and steering wheel
Good practice
to change gear smoothly, always press the
clutch pedal fully down.
to prevent the mat from becoming caught under the pedal:
-
ensure that the mat is positioned correctly,
-
never fit one mat on top of another.
Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as
the force exerted, even if slight, may cause
wear of the internal components of the
gearbox over time.
When traversing a flooded road or a
ford, drive at walking pace.
STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
MANUAL GEARBOX
Reverse gear
When the vehicle is stationary, release the
steering wheel adjustment by pushing the
lever down.
Adjust the steering wheel for height and
reach, then lock by pulling the lever up fully.
Never engage reverse gear until the vehicle
is completely stationary.
the lever should be moved slowly to reduce
the noise on engaging reverse gear.
If your vehicle is fitted with parking
sensors, the system comes into
operation when reverse gear is engaged,
confirmed by an audible signal.
Refer to the "technology on board -
Parking sensors" section.
