The positions of the individual driving gears are shown on the gearshift lever or .
In some countries, the clutch pedal will have to be depressed fully in order to start the engine.
Selecting reverse gear
Shifting down
You should always select the next immediate gear when shifting down a gear whilst the vehicle is in motion. The engine revs should not be too high when doing this . Damage to the clutch and the gearbox can occur if one or more gears are skipped when shifting down a gear at high speeds or high engine revs, even if the clutch is not released in the process .
Kickdown
In vehicles with a speed limiter , the kickdown function allows the driver to intentionally exceed the stored regulated speed, e.g. when overtaking.
When the accelerator is fully depressed, the speed limiter regulator is temporarily switched off when the vehicle exceeds the stored speed.
Once the vehicle returns to a speed below the stored speed and the accelerator is no longer fully depressed, speed limiter regulation becomes active again.
WARNING
WARNING
Serious damage to the clutch and gearbox can occur if the gear stick on the manual gearbox is shifted to too low a gear when travelling at high speeds or at high revs. This also applies if the clutch remains depressed and the gears do not engage.
