USING THE MANUAL GEARBOX
To engage the gears, press the clutch pedal fully and shift
the gear lever into one of the required positions (the di-
agram is shown on the knob, fig. 149).
To engage 6
th
gear (where provided), operate the lever
by pressing it towards the right in order to avoid engag-
ing 4
th
gear by mistake. The same applies to the shift from
6
th
to 5
th
gear.
IMPORTANT Reverse may only be engaged when the ve-
hicle is at a standstill. With the engine running, wait for
at least 2 seconds with the clutch pedal fully pressed be-
fore engaging reverse to prevent damage to the gears and
grating.
To engage reverse R from neutral, proceed as follows:
raise ring A under the knob and at the same time move
the gear lever to the right and then backwards.

INDEX
Press the clutch pedal fully to change
gears correctly. For this reason, there must
be no obstacles on the floor under the pedals: en-
sure that rubber mats (if any) are correctly po-
sitioned, not interfering with the pedals.
WARNING
Do not drive with your hand resting on the
gear lever, because this pressure, even if
light, over time can wear out the gearbox
inner components.
