MANUAL TRANSMISSION (if so
equipped)
WARNING
• Do not downshift abruptly on slip-
pery roads. This may cause a loss of
control.
• Do not over-rev the engine when
shifting to a lower gear. This may
cause a loss of control or engine
damage.
• Do not shift to the N (Neutral) posi-
tion while driving. Doing so may re-
sult in an accident due to loss of en-
gine braking.
CAUTION
• Do not rest your foot on the clutch
pedal while driving. This may cause
clutch damage.
• Fully depress the clutch pedal before
shifting to help prevent transmission
damage.
• Stop your vehicle completely before
shifting into R (Reverse).
• When the vehicle is stopped with the
engine running (for example, at a
stop light), shift to N (Neutral) and re-
lease the clutch pedal with the foot
brake applied.
Shifting
To change gears, or when upshifting or
downshifting, depress the clutch pedal
fully, shift into the appropriate gear, then
release the clutch slowly and smoothly.
To ensure smooth gear changes, fully de-
press the clutch pedal before operating the
shift lever. If the clutch pedal is not fully
depressed before the transmission is
shifted, a gear noise may be heard. Trans-
mission damage could occur.
Start the vehicle in 1st gear and shift to 2nd,
3rd, 4th and up to 5th gear in sequence
according to vehicle speed.
