R and 1 Reverse gear and first gear are blocked and can
be engaged only if the release ring is lifted towards
the gear lever knob.

inclines.
2 Second is normally used for starting.
2–2+ Leave the gear lever in position 2. Press down the
button on the gear lever to shift to 2+. Usually used
when driving on steep inclines where tight gear
steps are needed to retain traction.
2–3 (It does not matter if you shift from 2 or 2+.) Press
the lever slightly to the left while moving it to lever
position three.
3–4 Disengage third and let the lever find neutral posi-
tion before moving it towards position four.
4–5 Move the lever down towards fifth, releasing hand
pressure slightly as the lever passes neutral posi-
tion.
5–6 Move the lever with slight pressure to the right
when shifting up to lever position six.
6–7 Press the lever lightly to the right while moving it
down to lever position seven.
With this alternative, lever position seven gives the highest
gear.
