For smooth shifting, follow these guidelines:
- fully depress the clutch pedal;
- engaging 1st and 2nd gears: first move the gear lever to the left as far as it will go, then engage 1st or 2nd gear;
- engaging 3rd and 4th gear: move the lever forward or backward from the neutral position («N»);
- engaging 5th gear: first move the gear lever to the right to the end, then engage 5th gear;
- reverse gear («R») (type 1): lift the locking ring under the gear lever handle with two fingers, move the lever to the left as far as it will go and then forward;
- reverse gear («R») (type 2): first move the lever to the right as far as it will go and then back to the position «R» (reverse).
Attention! Do not engage reverse when the vehicle is moving forward. This may damage the transmission.
