QUICKSHIFT GEARBOX (continued)
Starting
Switch on the ignition.
The display lights up on the
instrument panel.
If neutral (N) is displayed, start the
engine but do not depress the
accelerator.
If a gear other than neutral (N) is
displayed, it will flash in the
display; it will be possible to start
the engine if you depress the brake
pedal (the warning light 3 will
come on if you forget) when holding
the key in starting position.
The gear will then automatically
change to neutral (N) and the engine
will start.
You may also select neutral after
switching on the ignition by
pushing the lever to the right whilst
depressing the brake pedal.
When the engine is running,
automatic mode will be selected by
default.
Note: do not attempt to bump start
the engine if the battery is
discharged (the display remains off
when the ignition is switched on).
Starting up
Driving forwards (from neutral)
The gear display shows N and A.
• With your foot on the brake pedal,
push the selector lever forwards
and then release it.
• Take your foot of the brake pedal
and accelerate gently to drive
forwards.
Moving the lever (changing gears up
or down or moving the lever to the
left) will switch to semi-automatic
mode (refer to the “Semi-automatic
operating mode” section).
Move the lever to the left to return to
automatic mode.
Reverse gear (vehicle stopped)
• With your foot on the brake
pedal. Push the selector lever
towards the right and to the rear
asshownonthebaseofthelever,
and then release it. Reverse gear is
engaged and the letter R appears
on the display.
• Release the brake pedal:
- The engine's idle speed is
sufficient for parking
manoeuvres.
- Accelerate gently to reverse.
You may shift from reverse gear to a
forwards gear by pushing the lever
forward once the vehicle is
stationary.
Note: You must depress the brake
pedal to be able to engage or
disengage a gear when the vehicle is
stationary. If you do not do so,
indicator light 3 will light up.
In the same way as a vehicle equipped with a manual gearbox, a
vehicle equipped with a Quickshift gearbox is unable to prevent the
vehicle from rolling on a slope if the handbrake is not applied or the
brake pedal constantly depressed.
