To prevent damage to the variator if the range is incorrectly selected (for example, moving from "D" V "R" when moving forward) a latch is installed on the selector, only when pressed, it is possible "dangerous" switching. The latch allows you to avoid the situation when, by negligence, one of the invalid ranges of motion can be included.
- The selector has six positions − "P", "R", "N", "D", "S" And "L".
When switching, you need to press the lock.
No need to press when switching to the latch.
When switching, you need to press the lock and the brake pedal.
Position "R"
It is selected when the car is parked for a long time. In this position of the selector in the variator, all controls are turned off, and its output shaft is blocked; vehicle movement is not possible. To move the selector to this position is permissible only at a complete stop. Move selector to position "R" while driving will cause damage to the variator.
Position "R"
Reverse. The selector can only be moved to this position when the vehicle is stationary. Translation of the selector into position. "R" while moving forward, it can lead to failure of the variator and other transmission elements.
Position "N"
Corresponds to neutral. In the variator, all controls are turned off, which ensures the absence of a rigid kinematic connection between its drive and driven shafts. In this case, the output shaft blocking mechanism is disabled, i.e. the car can move freely.
It is not recommended to move the selector to the position "N" while coasting (by inertia). Never turn off the ignition while driving downhill. This practice is dangerous because it could cause you to lose control of the vehicle.
Position "D"
Basic driving mode. It provides forward movement. In normal driving conditions, it is recommended to use it.
Position "S"
Recommended for use, for example, on winding mountain roads.
Position "L"
This range allows maximum implementation of the engine braking mode. It is recommended when driving on steep descents, climbs and off-road.
When braking the engine, move the selector to the position "L". Do not switch the CVT selector at high speeds, this may cause the vehicle to skid and roll over, or damage the transmission.
Manual gear ratio switching mode
1. Manual shifting mode provides for forced change of the gear ratio of the variator.
2. To switch to manual switching mode, it is necessary to move the variator selector to the position "D" and press the switch.
1 - indicator of the included range in the manual switching mode,
2 - indicator for enabling the manual switching mode,
3 - manual switching mode switch,
4 - switch for increasing the gear ratio in manual shift mode,
5 - gear reduction switch in manual shift mode.
The manual shift mode indicator lights up on the instrument panel. To turn off the mode, press the switch again.
Note: If the CVT selector is in any position other than "D", and the switch is pressed, the manual shift mode will not turn on.
3. Switching is carried out using the switches located on the steering wheel, as shown in the figure. When switching on the instrument panel, the corresponding indicator of the included range lights up in manual shift mode.
- The manual shift mode has seven positions: "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7".
