Gearbox
If the engine is switched off with N selected, the
system will wait for 10 minutes before
selecting P. This time delay allows the vehicle
enough time to be conveyed through a car
wash. Do not use for vehicle recovery
purposes.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION
If your vehicles requires recovery by towing,
the recovery must be undertaken by qualified
personnel. See 216, RECOVERY.
DRIVE SELECTOR FAILS TO ELEVATE
If the drive selector is obstructed, remove the
obstruction and then start the engine. The
selector should elevate as normal.
Selection of reverse gear is prevented
when the vehicle is travelling in excess
of 24km/h (15mph). Never attempt to
engage reverse gear while the vehicle is
in forward motion. This may result in
serious transmission damage and
costly repairs.
If the selector still fails to elevate, even if there
is no obstruction, a fault in the system is
indicated. The selector can still be used in the
lowered position. Ensure that P is selected
before engine switch off. Have the fault
rectified at the earliest opportunity.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
TRANSMISSION FAULT
The gear shift indicator illuminates
briefly at the recommended gear
change point (upshift).
In the event that the transmission develops a
fault, a warning message may be displayed in
the message centre and only limited gears may
become available. You should seek qualified
assistance immediately.
The shift indicator will not illuminate while
Cruise control is active and is not being
overridden by pressing the throttle pedal.
Note: This warning indicator is only a guide. It
remains the responsibility of the driver to
operate the vehicle in an appropriate manner
for the prevailing conditions.
