The selector lever has six positions.
«R»: parking
Set the lever to the position only when the vehicle is stopped by pressing the lock button under the lever handle. The transmission brake is on, the engine can be started.
«R»: reverse
Set the lever to the position «R» only when the vehicle is at a complete stop. with the handbrake applied and the engine idling, by pressing the lock button under the lever handle. If the reverse gear is turned on while the car is moving, the gearbox may break
«N» or «O»: neutral
Rotation from the engine is not transmitted to the drive wheels, it is possible to start the engine. It is recommended to set the lever to this position during long stops, for example, during traffic jams.
«D» or «A»: movement
The car moves off in 1st gear and the 2nd and 3rd gears are automatically switched on sequentially and the transition to low gears is automatically carried out. This position ensures optimal engine operation and machine movement under normal conditions (in the city or on a flat road without slopes).
«2»: mountain riding and engine braking
The car moves off in 1st gear and 2nd gear is automatically engaged, shifting to a higher gear is not possible.
It is recommended to set the lever to this position in the mountains (during long ascents and descents) and for efficient engine braking.
The lever is set to position «2» while driving at any speed. At high vehicle speed (about 100 km/h) 2nd gear is automatically engaged and regardless of engine speed, 3rd gear is not engaged.
«1»: driving in particularly difficult conditions
The car starts in 1st gear and moves in this gear without shifting to higher gears. It is recommended to set the lever to the position «1» for the most efficient engine braking and on steep hills.
The lever can be put in this position when driving at any speed. With a high vehicle speed of about 100 km/h) 2nd gear is automatically engaged, at a speed of about 60 km / h - 1st gear, In the future, the highest gear is not engaged even when the accelerator pedal is pressed all the way down.
Forced downshift: «kickdown»
When the accelerator pedal is pressed all the way down sharply, a special switch is activated and a lower gear is immediately switched on. The next time you press the accelerator pedal, the vehicle accelerates at maximum acceleration, for example when overtaking. At «kickdown» upshifting occurs at a much higher machine speed than normal, with engine speed close to the maximum allowable value, i.e., in each gear, engine torque is fully used.
