Driving the car

IMPORTANT

The car must be stationary with the foot

brake depressed when changing from N to

R or from N to D/H.

Gear D/H

The first backward movement of the lever acti-

vates forward drive with the gear in the D posi-

tion. The second activates the H position. The

third activates the D position again, and so on.

•

D - Drive: For city driving. The "engine

braking" recharges the batteries.

•

H - Highway: For driving on main roads.

Recharging with "engine braking" is

reduced.

When changing between D and H position the

instrument panel's gear shift indicator changes

between

D and H.

Parking lock

In order that the car should not accidentally roll

away, it has the equivalent to the P position in

a conventional car's automatic gearbox. The

parking lock is operated automatically with the

remote control key as follows:

•

Parking lock On: Turn the remote control

key to position I

or 0.

•

Parking lock Off: Turn the remote control

key to position II

and depress the foot

brake pedal.

WARNING

Make a habit of always applying the parking

brake when parking - the gearbox automatic

parking lock is not sufficient to hold the car

in all situations.

Emergency disengagement of the

parking lock

In the event of a power failure the gearbox's

parking lock can be released manually - see

page 23.

Function

The electric parking brake acts on the rear

wheels and when it is working a faint sound

may be perceptible. The noise can also be

heard during the automatic function checking

of the parking brake.

Emergency brake

In an emergency the parking brake can be

"pulled" even if the car is moving, but the brak-

ing then takes place with reduced power until

the car is stationary - only then is the parking

brake fully applied.

Key positions - see the normal owner's manual or the tables earlier on in this section.
