Press the clutch fully before shifting the gear stick into one of the positions shown in the diagram in fig. 2 (the diagram is also on the gear lever knob).
IMPORTANT
Only engage the reverse gear when the vehicle is completely stationary. With the engine running, wait for at least 2 seconds with the clutch pedal pressed to avoid damaging the gears and scratching.
To engage reverse (R) from neutral:
– shift the lever to the right and back.
For version 1.4 8V and 1.6 16V, to engage reverse (R) from neutral, raise collar A-fig. 3 set under the knob and move the lever rightwards and then backwards at the same time.
You must press the clutch fully down to change gear properly. It is therefore essential that there is nothing under the pedals. Make sure that mats are lying flat and do not get in the way of pedals.
