after switching off the en-
gine.
If reverse gear not engaged properly,
once the gear shifted from “N” to “R”
position. Then the system will retry to
shifting automatically. This will take
some time, noise may be heard from
gears. This however does not indicate
any malfunction.
If still reverse gear not working, and
warning buzzer sound along with “EN-
GINE FAILURE HAZARD’’ and de-
pending on the vehicle ”ENGINE
FAULT” message appears on the clus-
ter, then follow below steps:
With the vehicle stationary,
Pressing the brake pedal, shift the
gear shifter lever:
– shift towards “N” position;
and
– again, shift towards "R" position.
Now, the reverse gear engaged. once

Creeping
It is a function that enables the vehicle
to move slowly without pressing accel-
erator pedal. Follow the steps:
– Start the engine as instructed in
“Starting the engine” section.
– With brake pedal pressed, shift the
lever to D position.
– Release the parking brake and
brake pedal to activate creeping.
Driving in manual mode
This mode can be activated at any
time when driving by pushing the lever
to position M.
To shift up a gear, simply push the se-
lector lever backwards without neces-
sarily releasing the accelerator.
To shift down a gear, simply push the
selector lever forwards without neces-
sarily releasing the accelerator.
The system will not tolerate a series of
up or down changes that cause the en-
gine to underrev or overrev.
By pushing the lever backwards twice,
you can move up two gears at a time
(except if under-revving). By pushing
the lever forwards twice, you can move
down two gears at a time (except if
over-revving).
When decelerating with the foot off the
pedal, the gears will automatically drop
to the low engine speed limit to avoid
stalling. The vehicle may be kept sta-
tionary (stop, red light etc.) by de-
pressing the brake pedal without shift-
ing into neutral N.
The vehicle will move off again :
– either slowly, if you release the
brake without accelerating (e.g. when
in a traffic jam),
– or quickly, if you release the brake
and accelerate.
Note : Neutral N may only be selected
when the vehicle is being driven or is
stationary or without touching the
brake pedal.
If the engine speed is too high or too
low, the system will choose the opti-
mum gear.
Manual mode can be deactivated and
reactivated at any time with the engine
running by moving the lever to position
D and respectively to M.
Driving in automatic mode
Each time the ignition is switched on,
starting in neutral, shift the lever to D
with brake pedal pressed condition to
be able to shift directly to automatic
mode.
The letter A appears on the display.
The vehicle is controlled using the ac-
celerator and the brake. Gears will
