Gear lever

Selecting reverse gear

Vehicles with a manual gearbox: follow the grid pictured on the knob 1 and lift the ring against the gear lever knob to select reverse.

Vehicles with automatic gearbox: refer to the information on the “Automatic gearbox” in Section 2.

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

Note: depending on the vehicle, if the dipped beam headlights are on, the front fog lights come on simultaneously when reverse gear is selected.

An impact to the underside of the vehicle while manoeuvring (e.g. striking a post, raised kerb or other street furniture) may result in damage to the vehicle (e.g. deformation of an axle).

To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved Dealer.

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 a gear (1st or reverse gear) for vehicles with a manual gearbox or position P for vehicles with an automatic gearbox.
