Good practice
Never select position N when the
vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R unless
the vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to
optimise braking on a slippery surface.
There is a risk of damage to the
gearbox:
- if you press the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time,
- if you force the lever from position P
to another position in the event of a
battery failure.
When the engine is at idle, brakes
not applied, if position R , D or M is
selected the vehicle moves even
without the accelerator being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave children
unsupervised inside the vehicle,
with the engine running .

You may feel a substantial knock when
changing from P to R and from N to R
(this will not cause any damage to the
gearbox).
