When the ignition is switched on, an indication of the actual position of the control lever appears in the instrument cluster. This illustration shows the position "R".
R - parking lock
Drive wheels are blocked by means of kinematic links. The parking lock can only be used after the vehicle has stopped.
To set the lever to position "R" press it down first. When switching from position "R" into position "R" you don't have to do this.
To move the shift lever out of position "R" with the ignition on, press the brake pedal and push the lever down.
R - reverse gear
Reverse gear can only be engaged after the vehicle has stopped and the engine is running at idle. Before switching to position "R" push the lever down. With the ignition on and the control lever in position "R" reversing lights are on.
N – neutral position (idle position)
To move the control lever out of position "N" at a speed of less than 5 km / h, as well as with a stationary vehicle and the ignition on, press the brake pedal.
D - basic position when moving forward
Automatic upshifting and downshifting within the four gears of the box is carried out depending on the engine load, speed and driving program.
In driving mode, under certain conditions, it may be preferable to temporarily move the control lever to one of the positions described below.
3 – position for driving on roads in hilly terrain
This position is recommended when frequently shifting from 3rd gear to 2nd and back, while the control lever is in the main position "D".
4th gear is blocked. This slightly increases the braking effect of the engine when the accelerator pedal is released.
2 – position for driving in the mountains
This lever position is suitable for long descents and climbs. 3rd and 4th gears are blocked. This avoids useless upshifting and increases the braking effect of the engine.
1 – position for overcoming steep slopes
Recommended for very steep climbs and descents – especially when towing a trailer. To turn on, push the control lever down. After switching on, the car moves only in 1st gear. This achieves the maximum braking effect of the engine.
When manually shifting down gears, you can set the control lever to the positions "3", "2" And "1". However, the automation will switch only after it becomes impossible to incrementally increase the engine speed.
