Manoeuvring the vehicle
For accurate manoeuvring when parking,
at garage entrances etc., the creeping
movement can be utilised by releasing the
foot brake with a gear selected.

pedals simultaneously.

transmission automated deactivates the
"creep function" when the temperature of
the automatic clutch is extremely high. Vehicle storage
Apply the handbrake and remove the key
from the ignition. The most recently
engaged gear (indicator in transmission
display) remains engaged. With

is engaged.
When the ignition is switched off the
manual transmission automated no longer
responds to movement of the selector
lever.
If the ignition key is not removed, the
battery may be discharg ed if the vehicle is
then left to stand for a lengthy period of
time.
If the hand brake has not been applied, the
control indicator R flashes for a few
seconds after the ignition is switched off.
