Manual Transmission
To change gears, or when up shifting or downshifting, depress the clutch
pedal fully, shift to the appropriate gear, then release the clutch slowly
and smoothly.
To select reverse gear (R), pull the reverse lock ring located below the
gear shift knob.
AWD selection (only for 4X4 vehicle)
AWD vehicle is equipped with Interactive Torque Management (ITM)
System which intelligently transfers torque to all four wheels.
ITM system is available in two operating positions viz., AUTO mode and
AWD LOCK mode.
AUTO mode: Vehicle is by default in AUTO mode. In Auto mode,
whenever any slippage is detected in front wheels (slippery surfaces like
icy roads, wet surfaces, etc.) the torque is transferred to the rear wheels
by the ITM system.
'AWD LOCK' mode: To activate this mode, press AWD LOCK switch
located on central bezel switch bank. The LED on the switch turns ON. In
this mode fixed amount of torque is transferred to rear wheels
irrespective of driving condition. The vehicle can be operated in this
mode ON road as well as OFF road.
To turn off the AWD LOCK mode press the same switch again. The LED
on the switch turns OFF.
CAUTION
Shift to reverse (R) only after your vehicle is stopped. Shifting
into reverse (R) while your vehicle is moving could damage your
transmission.
