Selecting neutral
Neutral can only be selected from first gear. When bringing the car to a stop, the driver should get into the habit of
selecting first gear before the car comes to a standstill, otherwise it can be difficult to get back to neutral if the dogs
aren’t in alignment. When first gear is selected, press and hold the white neutral button and pull the ‘down’ paddle
to select neutral.
Selecting reverse gear
To select reverse, first select neutral as above, then press and hold the white neutral button and pull and hold the
‘down’ paddle for one second. The one second delay is to prevent the driver from accidentally selecting reverse
before the car has come to a complete stop, as doing so would cause severe gearbox damage! The reverse gear is for
EMERGENCY ON TRACK USE ONLY, NOT FOR USE AROUND THE PADDOCK, engine rpm should NOT exceed 2500rpm
whilst in use.
Figures 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 show the parameters that are measured on the digital display in the car.
