Kickdown

W hen the accele rator peda l is pressed

beyond its resistance point below certain

engine speeds, the transmission downshifts

to a lower gear. Full use is made of engine

power for acceleration.

Engine braking assistance from

motor

To utilize the engine braking effect, select a

lower gear in g ood time w hen driving

downhill.

Braking is most effective in the lowest gear.

If a gear is se lecte d a t too high a speed, the

transm ission remains in the relevant g ear

until the shift point is reached, e.g. as a

result of deceleration.

Rocking the car

to free it from sand, mud, snow or a hole,

move the selector lever from D to R in a

repeat pattern w hile sim ultaneously

applying light pressure to the accelerator

pedal. Do not race the engine and av oid

sudden acceleration.

This applies only to the exceptional

circum stances mentioned a bove.

Manoeuvring the vehicle

To manoeuvre the vehicle back and forth

during attempts to park or in ga ra ge

entrances, the vehicle's creeping

mov ement can be utilised by releasing the

brak e pedal.

Never actuate accelerator and brake

pedals sim ultaneously.
