If any gear other than neutral is en-
gaged, N flashes on the display ; press
the brake pedal and place the lever in
position N. Start the engine.
NB: Do not attempt to start the engine
by pushing the vehicle if the battery is
flat (the display remains OFF when the
ignition is switched ON).
Under certain conditions, the engine
starter may take some time. Keep the
key in the starting position.
Exactly like a vehicle
equipped with a manual
gearbox, a vehicle
equipped with a sequen-
tial gearbox is unable to prevent
the vehicle from rolling on a slope
if the handbrake is not applied or
the brake pedal constantly not
pressed. The vehicle can be in
stationary place on an incline for
two seconds (Giving Driver
enough time to take his foot off
the brake & press the accelerator)
Once the vehicle is
switched to ignition ON po-
sition, the gearbox initial-
izes. This produces a light sound.
This is normal. Crank the engine
after three seconds.

diately after starting the engine.

you must depress the brake pedal to
engage a gear. Otherwise, warning
