TING 

AND DRIVING

USING THE

MECHANICAL

GEARBOX

To engage the gears, press the clutch

pedal fully and shift the gear lever

into one of the required positions (the

diagram is shown on the knob). 

IMPORTANT Reverse may only be

engaged when the car is at a stand-

still. With the engine running, wait for

at least 2 seconds with the clutch

pedal fully pressed before engaging

reverse to prevent damage to the gears

and grating.

To engage 6th gear (for versions/

markets, where provided), operate the

lever by pressing it towards the right

in order to avoid engaging 4th gear by

mistake. The action is similar for

shifting from 6th gear to 5th gear.

To engage reverse R from the neutral

position, lift the sliding ring A-fig. 2-

3 under the knob and at the same

time move the lever rightwards and

then back (petrol versions only). For

Multijet versions, simply move the

lever rightwards and then back.

Do not drive with your

hand resting on the gear

lever, because this pressure,

even if light, over time can

wear out the gearbox inner compo-

nents.

Press the clutch pedal

fully to change gears cor-

rectly. For this reason, there must

be no obstacles on the floor under

the pedals: ensure that rubber mats

(if any) are correctly positioned,

not interfering with the pedals.
