CAUTION
• To avoid premature clutch wear
and damage, do not drive with
your foot resting on the clutch
pedal. Also, don’t use the clutch to
hold the vehicle stopped on an up‐
hill grade, while waiting for a traf‐
fic light, etc.

• To prevent possible damage to the
clutch
system, do not start with
the 2nd (second) gear engaged ex‐
cept when you start on a slippery
road.
• Do not exceed the maximum
weight
limits of the loading
weight. Improper loading can re‐
sult in damage to clutch system.
WARNING
• Before leaving the driver’s seat, al‐
ways
set the parking brake fully
and shut the engine off. Then
make sure the transaxle is shifted
into 1 (First) gear when the vehicle
is parked on a level or uphill grade,
and shifted into R (Reverse) on a
downhill grade.
Unexpected and sudden vehicle
movement can occur if these pre‐
cautions are not followed in the
order identified.

• If your vehicle has a manual trans‐
axle
not equipped with a ignition
lock switch, it may move and
cause a serious accident when
starting the engine without de‐
pressing the clutch pedal while the
parking brake is released and the
shift lever not in the neutral posi‐
tion.
• Do not use the engine brake (shift‐
ing
from a high gear to lower gear)
rapidly on slippery roads.
The vehicle may slip causing an ac‐
cident.
