If reverse gear is not fully engaged, press
the clutch pedal down and shift the
gearshift lever to the neutral position.
Release the clutch pedal for a moment,
depress the clutch again and shift the

Parking Your Vehicle WARNING: Always set the parking
brake fully and make sure you shift the
gearshift lever to first gear. Switch the
ignition off and remove the key whenever
you leave your vehicle.
To park your vehicle:
1. Press the brake pedal and shift the gearshift lever to the neutral position.
2. Fully apply the parking brake and switch the ignition off.
3. Hold the clutch pedal down, and shift the gearshift lever to first gear. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARNING:
Do not apply the brake
pedal and accelerator pedal
simultaneously. Applying both pedals
simultaneously for more than a few
seconds will limit engine performance,
which may result in difficulty maintaining
speed in traffic and could lead to serious
injury.
Note: When you switch the ignition off, the
transmission will carry out a series of checks.
You may hear slight clicking sounds. This is
normal.
We have designed your vehicle to improve
fuel economy by reducing fuel usage
compared to a traditional torque converter
automatic transmission. When you take
your foot off the accelerator pedal and
your vehicle begins to slow down, this can
feel like a light to medium braking
sensation.

trailer hitches, bike or surfboard racks can
cause reduced performance or false alerts.
Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt. Blocked
sensors may affect system accuracy. Do
not clean the sensors with sharp objects.
Note: If your vehicle sustains damage
leaving the sensors misaligned, this will
cause inaccurate measurements or false
alerts.
