Operates in a similar manner to an automatic gearbox.

Selector lever 1

The display A on instrument panel indicates the gear lever position as 3.

P : Park

R : Reverse

N : Neutral

D : Forward

Operation

Keeping your foot on the brake pedal and with the selector lever 1 in position P, turn the ignition.

Start the motor.

To move out of position P, you must depress the brake pedal before pressing unlocking button 2.

With your foot on the brake pedal (warning light c in display A goes out), move the lever out of position P.

Only engage D or R when the vehicle is stopped, with your foot on the brake and the accelerator pedal released.

Driving

Put lever 1 into position D.

Hill start

For hill starts, especially after a maximum traction battery charge and for the first few miles, we recommend using the handbrake.

While driving, press the accelerator pedal to achieve the desired speed.

Reverse

Put lever 1 into position R.

The reversing lights will come on as soon as reverse gear is selected (with the ignition on).

The vehicle can only start if the gear selector is in position P.

The vehicle can only be started if the charging cord is unplugged from the vehicle.

Parking the vehicle

When the vehicle is stationary, move the lever to P position while keeping your foot on the brake pedal: the control is in neutral and the drive wheels are mechanically locked by the driveshaft.

Apply the handbrake.

P position must only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary.

In the event an impact to the underside of the vehicle (e.g.: striking a post, raised kerb or other street furniture), this may result in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: twisted axle), the electrical circuit or the traction battery.

Do not touch the circuit elements or any fluids or liquids.

To prevent any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an authorised dealer.

Risk of serious injury or electric shock and risk to life.

When activated, in the event that the lever is stuck in P, depress the brake paddle. It is possible to free the lever manually. To do this, unclip the cover at the base of the lever and simultaneously press at location 4 and on the unlocking button 6 on the lever.

Make sure that the handbrake is properly released when driving (red indicator light off), otherwise overheating, or even damage, may occur.

When stationary and depending on the slope and/or vehicle load, it may be necessary to pull up the handbrake at least two extra notches and engage position P.
