The gear shift pattern is shown on the gear shift knob. Always fully depress the clutch pedal before moving the lever to another position.
Warning! Do not engage reverse gear when the vehicle is moving forward. This may damage the transmission.
Caution: Do not leave your foot on the clutch pedal while the vehicle is moving, as this may cause premature wear or damage to the clutch.
Note: If it is difficult to engage first gear, press the clutch pedal again. This will make it easier to move the gearshift lever.
To move the lever from 5th gear to reverse ("R"), first move the lever to neutral ("N") and then to reverse ("R").
Gear shifting
When changing gears, always act carefully, matching the vehicle speed with the engine speed. Correct gear shifting reduces fuel consumption and increases engine life. Avoid downshifting at high speed, as this can cause excessive engine speed increase (tachometer needle in the red zone) and engine damage.
Economical travel speeds

For economical driving, it is recommended to shift gears at the speeds indicated below. The driver can vary the speed values depending on the driving mode and vehicle load.
Permissible speed limits
5th gear is an overdrive gear, and when engaged, the engine speed decreases compared to 4th gear (at the same vehicle speed). For maximum fuel economy, use 5th gear if the vehicle's driving conditions allow it.
