MANUAL TRANSMISSION IF EQUIPPED
Five-Speed Manual Transmission
WARNING!
You or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle
unattended without having the parking brake fully
applied. The parking brake should always be applied
when the driver is not in the vehicle, especially on an
incline.
Fully press the clutch pedal before you shift gears. As you
release the clutch pedal, lightly press the accelerator pedal.
Use each gear in numerical order, do not skip a gear. Be
sure the transmission is in first gear, (not third), when
starting from a standing position. Damage to the clutch can
result from starting in a gear higher than first gear.
CAUTION!
Launching in any gear except 1st gear will result in
excessive slipping of the clutch and potentially lug-
ging or stalling the engine.
