Moving Off
With the engine running, to move
off from position P:
➜ It is essential to press the
brake pedal to exit position P ,
➜ Select the required function
(R,D or M) then gradually
release the pressure on the
brake pedal; the vehicle will
move off immediately.
You can also move off from position N:
➜ Release the handbrake, with
your foot on the brake.
➜ Select the required function
(R, D or M) then gradually
release the pressure on the
brake pedal; the vehicle will
move off immediately.
When the engine is idling
with the brakes not
applied, if function R, D
or M is selected, the vehicle moves without the
accelerator being pressed.
For this reason, do not
leave children unsupervised inside the vehicle, with the engine running.
