Driving a car with a manual gearbox
Reverse gear may only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary.
When engine is running, depress clutch fully and wait a few
seconds before moving gear lever, to prevent grating noises.
When reverse gear is engaged with ignition on, the reversing lights
come on.
Some model versions may have 6 gears*. Its layout is indicated on
the selector lever.
NNoottee
For safety reasons, do not rest your hand on the gear lever while driving.

low-consumption, or a more “

”
programme will be selected.
The programme is selected
aauuttoommaattiiccaallllyy
depending on the
movement of the accelerator pedal.
If the accelerator pedal is moved slowly, or at a normal rate, the
gearbox will shift into a higher gear earlier, and down into a lower
gear later to

” programme is selected when the accelerator pedal
moves

. The pedal does not have to be depressed to the point
of
kkiicckk--ddoowwnn
⇒
page 117. In this mode, the gearbox will shift up
later to make full use of the engine power reserves.
The downward shift occurs at a higher rate of revolutions than in
the economy programmes.
The gear box is self adapting, and continuously selects the most
suitable gear programme. At the same time, the driver can also
make the gear box switch to a more “sporty” programme by
pressing the accelerator quickly. Depending on road speed, this
makes the gearbox shift down early into a lower gear for quicker
acceleration (for instance to overtake another vehicle), without
having to press the accelerator all the way down to the kick-down
position. After the gear box has shifted back up it returns to the
original programme, depending on your style of driving.
The gear box adapts the gear shifts for uphill and downhill
gradients. This prevents the gearbox from shifting up and down
unnecessarily on uphill gradients. On downhill gradients, the
gearbox shifts down into a lower gear when the driver presses the
brake pedal. This makes use of the braking effect of the engine
without having to change down manually
NNoottee
Depending on road resistance, for example when trailer towing or on uphill
stretches, a programme is automatically selected which provides more
power by shifting into a lower gear. This prevents frequent gear changes.
Selector lever lock
In positions “
PP
” and “
NN
” with the ignition switched on the selector
lever is locked. To move the selector lever out of these positions
the brake pedal must be depressed and the selector lever button
pushed-in. This prevents a gear being engaged inadvertently and
the vehicle unintentionally moving off.
A delay circuit prevents the selector lever from locking when it is
moved quickly past the “
NN
” position (for instance from “
RR
” to “
DD
”).
This enables for example the vehicle to be “rocked” out of a
“bogged down” position. The shift lock only locks the selector
lever if it is left in the “
NN
” position for more than about 1 second
without the brake pedal being depressed.
At speeds above 5 km/h the selector lever lock is automatically
switched-off in position “
NN
”.

Selector lever positions
In the combi-instrument there is a display that
shows the selector lever position currently selected.
PP –– PPaarrkkiinngg lloocckk
Use this position to park the vehicle. To engage and disengage "
PP
"
press the button on the selector lever and press the brake pedal
while the engine is running.
If the engine is not switched on, disengage by pressing the button
on the selector lever.
RR –– RReevveerrssee ggeeaarr
The reverse gear should only be engaged when the vehicle is
stationary and with the engine idling. Before engaging the position
“
RR
” from the positions “
PP
” or “
NN
” the brake pedal must be
depressed and the lock button in the selector lever handle must
also be pressed.
The reversing lights come on when the selector lever is in the “
RR
”
position with the ignition switched on.
NN –– NNeeuuttrraall ((iiddlliinngg ppoossiittiioonn))
To move the lever out of neutral when stationary or at speeds
below 5 km/h and with ignition switched on depress the brake
pedal and press the lock button in the selector lever handle.
DD –– NNoorrmmaall ddrriivviinngg ppoossiittiioonn
The four gears are shifted up and down automatically depending
upon engine load and vehicle speed.
Under certain driving conditions it is advantageous to engage one
of the following described selector lever positions.
33 –– PPoossiittiioonn ffoorr ““hhiillllyy”” rreeggiioonnss
The
11sstt

22nndd
and
33rrdd
gears are shifted up and down automatically
depending upon engine load, road speed and selected programme
(
EE
or
SS
). The
44tthh
gear is not engaged. This increases the engine
braking effect when the accelerator pedal is released.
This selector position is recommended in situations where the
gearbox alternates frequently between
33rrdd
and
44tthh
gears in the
“

NNoottee
When changing down manually the selector lever can be moved into gears
33
,
22
, and
11
, but the gearbox will not change down until it is no longer
possible to over-rev the engine.
Kick-down device
The kick-down device gives maximum acceleration. When the
accelerator pedal is pressed right down past the full throttle
position, depending on road speed and engine speed, the box
changes down into a lower gear. The shift into the next higher gear
then takes place as soon as the maximum specified engine speed
is reached.

When the vehicle is stopped for a short period, for example at
traffic lights, it is only necessary to apply the brakes. It is not
necessary to move selector lever to “
NN
”. The engine should
however only be running at idling speed.
PPaarrkkiinngg
On a gradient the handbrake should be applied firmly first and
then the parking lock engaged. This will ensure that the locking
mechanism is not too heavily loaded and makes the lock easier to
disengage.
EEmmeerrggeennccyy ssttaarrttiinngg
On vehicles with automatic gearbox the engine cannot be started
by towing or pushing the vehicle
⇒
"Tow start/towing" chapter.
When the battery is flat, the engine can be started from the battery
of another vehicle by using jumper cables
⇒
“Starting help”
chapter.
TToowwiinngg
If a vehicle must be towed instructions in the "Tow start/towing"
chapter must be followed strictly.
EEmmeerrggeennccyy pprrooggrraamm
In case of an electronic failure of the gearbox, emergency programs
are activated depending on the type of failure.
• The gear box continues to shift automatically, but strong jerking
is noticeable. Consult a Technical Service Centre.
• The gear box no longer shifts automatically.
In this case, you can shift manually. Only the
33rrdd
gear is available
in the positions "
DD
", "
33
" and "
22
" of the selector lever.
In the positions "
11
" and "
RR
" of the selector lever, the
11sstt
gear and
reverse gear, respectively, are available as customary.
It may happen that the gear oil is overheated when the torque
converter has to work harder, especially if
22nndd
gear is missing.
In such cases, go to a Technical Service Centre as soon as possible.

General notes
• Before starting, move gear lever to neutral (with automatic
gearbox, selector lever in “P” or “N” position) and apply handbrake
firmly.
• On vehicles with a manual gearbox depress the clutch pedal
when operating starter so that starter only has to turn engine.
• As soon as engine starts, release the ignition key so that starter
can disengage.
• After starting a cold engine it may sound noisy for a moment or
two because the oil pressure has to build up in the hydraulic
tappets first. This is normal and no cause for alarm.
FFoorr tthhee ssaakkee ooff tthhee eennvviirroonnmmeenntt
Do not warm the engine up by running it when the vehicle is stationary.
Begin driving the vehicle as soon as possible.
CCaauuttiioonn
• Do not over-rev or use full throttle until the engine has reached the normal
operating temperature.
• On vehicles with a catalytic converter the engine must not be started by
towing the vehicle in excess of 50 m. Otherwise unburned fuel can pass into
the converter and lead to damage.
• Before trying to start the engine by towing, an attempt should be made, if
possible, to use the battery of another vehicle

When the warning lamp goes out, start the engine immediately.
Do not depress the accelerator while starting.
If the engine only fires irregularly, continue to operate the starter a

Starting after running out of fuel
If the tank on vehicles with a diesel engine was empty, starting
after filling with diesel fuel can take longer than normal – up to
one minute. This is because the fuel system must first be freed of
air before starting.
