AND DRIVING
USING THE MANUAL
GEARBOX
To engage the gears, press the clutch ped-
al down fully and shift the gear lever into
one of the required positions (a diagram
is shown on the knob fig. 2).
IMPORTANT Reverse may be engaged
only when the car is at a standstill. With
the engine running, wait for at least 2 sec-
onds with the clutch pedal fully depressed
before engaging reverse to prevent dam-
age to the gears and grating.
fig. 2F0M0503m
Depress the clutch pedal ful-
ly to change gear correctly.
There should be no obstacles on the
floor underneath the pedals; make
sure that mats are always flat and do
not interfere with the pedals.
WARNING
Do not drive with your hand
resting on the gear lever as
the force exerted, even if
slight, could lead over time to
premature wear of the gearbox inter-
nal components.To engage reverse R from neutral, lift ring
A under the knob and at the same time
move the gearshift lever to the right and
then backwards fig. 2.
IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should be
used only to change gear. Do not drive
with your foot resting on the clutch ped-
al, however slightly. For versions/markets,
where provided, the electronic clutch
control can intervene if it interprets the
incorrect driving style as a fault.

ç) Depending on the configuration, the spare wheel has a 175/65 R15 84T tyr\
e and a 6J×15''- ET43 rim. In this case the
175/65 R15 84T tyre has the same specifications as the spare wheel: the \
information in “Changing a tyre” therefore refers to
the 175/65 R15 84T tyre.
