166 Starting and driving
Selector positions
P
To shift out of the P position you must depress
the brake pedal and the ignition must be ON.
The parking position (P) must only be selected
when the car is at a complete standstill. The selec-
tor lever is locked and the transmission is
mechanically immobilized. Always apply the park-
ing brake after parking the car.
The engine can be started.
R
The reverse (R) position must only be selected
when the car is at a complete standstill. The
detent-release button must be pressed before the
selector lever can be moved to R. Wait until
reverse gear has engaged (car starts to creep)
before touching the accelerator.
N
In the Neutral position (N), the transmission is dis-
engaged from the engine. The engine can be
started, but first ensure that the parking brake is
on, to prevent the car from moving off unexpect-
edly.
To prevent the engine and transmission from
becoming hotter than necessary, select N for
stops other than brief ones, e.g. if stuck in a traffic
jam.
The normal drive position (D) is recommended for
waiting at traffic lights.
D
The Drive position (D) is the position for normal
motoring. Gear changes between 1st and 4th will
take place automatically, the timing of which is
determined by the throttle (accelerator) position
and the speed of the car.
After moving the selector lever to D, pause to give
the gear time to engage (car starts to pull).
3
In position 3, 4th gear is locked out. The car will
start in 1st gear and normal gear changing (up
and down) will take place automatically between
gears 1, 2 and 3.
Moving the selector lever from D to 3 will cause a
downshift to 3rd gear, which will give better
engine-braking.
Do not move the selector to position 3 at speeds
in excess of 90 mph (150 km/h).
2
Position 2 is recommended in hilly country as it
provides effective engine-braking. Normal gear
changing (up and down) between 1st and 2nd
gear will take place automatically. Third and 4th
gears are locked out.
Do not move the selector to position 2 at speeds
in excess of 70 mph (110 km/h).
1
Position 1 should be used when maximum
engine-braking is required on steep downhill
slopes.
Do not move the selector to position 1 at speeds
in excess of 30 mph (50 km/h).
