USING THE MANUAL GEARBOX

To engage the gears, depress the clutch pedal fully and shift

the gear lever into the required positions (the diagram is

shown on the gear knob fig. 148).

To engage 6

gear (for versions/markets where provided),

push firmly to the right when operating the lever in or-

der to avoid selecting 4

gear by mistake. The same ap-

plies to the shift from 6

to 5

gear.

IMPORTANT Reverse may be engaged only when the car

is at a standstill. With the engine running, wait for at least

2 seconds with the clutch pedal fully depressed before en-

gaging reverse to prevent damage to the gears and grating.

With 6 speed gearbox, to engage reverse R from neutral,

lift ring A under the knob and at the same time move the

gearstick to the right and then backwards fig. 148.

Depress the clutch pedal fully to change

gear correctly. Therefore, the floor area

under the pedals should be clear: ensure that any

rubber mats are flat and do not interfere with the

pedals.

WARNING

Do not drive with your hand resting on the

gear lever, because this pressure, even if

light, can wear out the inner components

of the gearbox over time.

IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should be used only for

changing gear. Do not drive with your foot resting on the

clutch pedal, however slightly. For versions/markets where

provided, the electronic clutch control can intervene if it

interprets the incorrect driving style as a fault.
