Engine starting
The engine
can
only be started
in
neutral.
Vehicle starting and driving
Sensors
in
the gear lever knob
detect
gear lever loading
in
the
"push" and
"pull"
directions
and automatically initiate clutch disengagement
to
enable gear disengagement
or
selection
to
occur.
•
Engage
the
Ist
or
2nd gear according
to
the
driving conditions.
(Take
up
in
other
gears
is
allowed,
but
the
driver
is
warned by
the
buzzer and also
the
take up engine speed
is
held
low
to
induce a "lugging" effect.)
• Accelerate gradually and shift normally
• If
an
attempted gear engagement will result
in
a clutch driven plate overspeed situation
(especially during a downshift)
an
audible warning
is
given
to
the
driver.
Warning!
If
agear cannot be selected while stationary
in
neutral (especially reverse) depress
the
accelerator pedal
for
a
short
time
in
neutral
to
rev
the
engine and then
re-attempt
gear
selection when engine speed
has
returned
to
idle.
It
is
strongly recommended
NOT
to
engage a gear which opposes
the
running direction. (eg
selection reverse and rolling forward downhill
or
vice versa.)
Clutch overheating
An
audible warning
is
sounded
if
the
clutch
is
overheated
(by,
for
example, crawling up a hill
for
along period, fully laden
in
2nd gear). Thewarning continues until
the
cause
of
overheating
is
removed.
