Depending on the model variant, thetransmission in your vehicle is a 4- or5-speed transmission. Bothtransmissions are electronicallycontrolled but they also allow you tochange gear manually.
Gear selection
WARNING
When the vehicle is stationary,apply the parking brake ordepress the footbrake beforeselecting a gear. Failure to do socould result in the vehicle pullingaway when you have engaged agear.
