WARNING

Selecting the wrong position can cause you to lose control of the vehicle, which can lead to accidents and serious

injuries.

● When the engine is running, the vehicle starts moving as soon as a selector lever position is engaged and the

brake pedal is released.

● Never select reverse gearR or engage the parking lockP while the vehicle is in motion.

WARNING

Unintentional vehicle movements can cause serious injury.

● The driver must never leave the driver seat when the engine is running and a position has been selected. If you

have to leave the vehicle while the engine is running, always switch on the electronic parking brake and set the

parking lock to the P position.

● If the engine is running and the selector lever is in positionD/S or R, the vehicle must be held on the foot brake.

The vehicle will creep forward even when the engine is idling, as power transmission is even then not fully

interrupted.

● Never leave the vehicle in the neutral positionN. The vehicle can roll downhill, irrespective of whether or not the

engine is running.
