To move the gearbox control lever to position P or R, press the lock on the lever handle.
The gearshift lever can be set to position P only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop, first applying the parking brake.
The gearshift lever can also be moved to position R only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
When the gearshift lever is in position D, automatic gear shifting occurs from 1st to 4th inclusive.
When the gearshift lever is in position 3, the gearshift automatically shifts from 1st to 3rd gear.
- Position 2 - shifting gears from 1st to 2nd.
- Position 1 - movement only in 1st gear.

Selecting position 3, 2 or 1 is done in situations where automatic upshifting is not desired, such as 4-3-4 on a winding road or to take advantage of engine braking when driving downhill.
