Manual transmission

When shifting into 5th or 6th gear, press the
gearshift lever to the right. Otherwise, the engine could be damaged if you inadvertently
shift into 3rd or 4th gear.
Select this only when the vehicle is stationary. When the gearshift lever is pressed to the left, a slight resistance has to be overcome.
