USING THE MANUAL GEARBOX
To engage gears, press down the clutch and shift the gear lever into one
of the positions shown (the diagram is also shown on the gear lever
knob).
To engage reverse (R), wait until the car has stopped and, from neutral
move the gear lever to the right and back.
IMPORTANT The car can only be put into reverse gear when it has
stopped moving completely. With the engine running, before engaging the
reverse, wait at least 2 seconds with the clutch pedal fully down to
prevent damaging and grating the gears.
P0E0243m
Do not drive with your hand resting on the gear lever as the force exerted, even if slight, could lead
over time to premature wear on the gearbox internal components.
To change gears properly you must push the clutch pedal fully down. It is therefore
essential that there is nothing under the pedals: make sure mats are lying flat and
do not get in the way of the pedals.WARNING

Apply the sticker in a visible position
for the driver to indicate that the tyre
has been treated with the quick tyre
repair kit. Drive carefully especially
when cornering. Do not exceed 80
km/h. Avoid heavy braking and
accelerating.
It is of vital importance to
communicate that the tyre has been
repaired using the quick tyre repair kit.

personnel charged with treating the
tyre repaired with the kit. If the pressure falls below 1.8 bars, do
not drive any further: the quick tyre
