«R»: parking
Set lever 8 to this position only when the vehicle is stopped. The immobility of the car is ensured by mechanical blocking of the drive wheels. Engine start is possible. To bring the lever to this position, press the lock button «B», located on the lever handle on the left.
«R»: reverse
To avoid serious damage, set the lever to this position only after the car moving forward has come to a complete stop. The parking brake must be applied, the engine is running at low speed. The lever is moved to this position after pressing the lock button.
«N»: neutral
In this position of the selector lever, the engine and drive wheels are separated. Engine start is possible. Set the lever to «neutral» and during long stops along the way, for example, during traffic jams.
«D»: movement
This position is most often used for movement. The car starts off in I gear, the transition to II, III or vice versa is performed automatically, depending on the load on the engine or speed. When the accelerator pedal is released, the engine brakes.
«2»: Automatic 2nd gear
Starting off occurs in 1st gear, shifting to 2nd gear or returning to 1st gear is automatic. Ill transfer does not work.
Set the lever to this position when driving on mountainous roads, where you often have to change down gears and resort to engine braking.
It is forbidden to move at speeds over 115 km/h in this position of the lever. Translation of the selector lever from the position «D» into position «2» perform after reducing the speed to 115 km/h or less.
«1»: Engage 1st gear only
To move the lever to this position, press the lock button on the lever handle. Use this position at speeds up to 65 km/h or when starting to move.
It is forbidden to move at a speed of more than 65 km / h in this position of the lever.
In this position of the lever, the car starts off and continues to move only in 1st gear, II and III do not work.
Use this lever position for climbing steep grades and for maximum engine braking when needed.
Forced downshift («kickdown»)
Forced downshifting ensures that maximum acceleration is achieved. Press the gas pedal all the way down with some additional force at the end of the stroke to turn on the system «kickdown». Now the upshift will be delayed, and the next downshift - according to the speed of the car or the engine mode.
This accelerator pedal position maximizes engine power in each gear.
