With N, no gear is engaged.

When driving downhill, the manual

transmission automated does not

shift into higher gears until a fairly

high engine speed has been reached.

It shifts down in good time when

braking.

Therefore always apply the parking

brake when switching off ignition. If

To start-off without depressing the

brake pedal, accelerate immediately

after engaging a gear as long as D or

R flashes.
