There is a button on the side of the gear shift that you push to hold the bongo in a low gear, ideal for going down hill, then push it again to switch off.
Lost without my Bongo.

You accidentaly pressed the hold button half way down the gear lever when changing gears. The Bongo driver's handbook will tell you all about using the Hold Button.
