Driving your SR3 SL
STARTING THE ENGINE
Turn the black rubberised electrical master switch
clockwise to the ‘on’ (vertical) position. Then turn
the steering column key clockwise, unlocking
the steering column and illuminating the
dashboard lights.
Upon turning the ignition/engine, a buzzing
noise may be heard from the rear bodywork;
this is the paddleshift compressor system
charging, and is normal. From time to time in
traffic and on the road this will activate to charge
the paddleshift system.
With the engine cold or warm: With the car in
neutral, press the Engine Start button on the
dashboard until the engine fires. There is no need
to press the throttle.
MOVING OFF
The Radical SR3 SL is fitted with a six-speed
steering wheel-mounted paddle-shift system. It is
possible to flatshift when you are changing up the
gearbox, and to have clutchless downchanges.
You will need to use the clutch to engage first
gear, to pull away from stationary, and when
stopping the car. To select first gear, depress the
clutch and pull the right-hand paddle, release the
handbrake and the clutch gently to pull away.
