Manual transmission
The shift pattern is shown on the gearshift
lever knob. Press the clutch pedal all the way
down while shifting gears. To start off, press
the clutch pedal all the way down and shift
into 1st or "R" (Reverse) position, operating
the gearshift lever slowly.
Then gradually release the clutch pedal while
depressing the accelerator pedal.
CAUTION
 Do not put the gearshift lever into the reverse
position while the vehicle is moving for-
ward. Doing so could damage the transmis-
sion.
 Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
while driving. Doing so could cause rapid
wear to the clutch.
 Do not coast in the "N" (Neutral) position.

CAUTION
 Do not use the gearshift lever as a handrest,
because this can result in premature wear of

the transmission shift forks.
NOTE
 During cold weather, shifting may be diffi-
cult until the transmission lubricant has
warmed up. This is normal and not harmful
to the transmission.

 If it is hard to shift into 1st, depress the
clutch pedal again; the shift will then be eas-

ier to make.
 To shift into the "R" (Reverse) position from
5th gear, move the gearshift lever to the "N"
(Neutral) position, and then move it to the
"R" (Reverse) position.
 To avoid grinding noises when shifting into
reverse, wait approximately 3 seconds with
the clutch pedal depressed when the vehicle
is stationary.
Changing gears
Always use care to change the gear with the
vehicle speed matched to the engine speed.
Proper shifting will improve fuel economy
and prolong engine life.
Avoid shifting down at high speed, as this
may cause excessive engine speed and dam-
age the engine.
Possible driving speed
Avoid shifting down at high speed, as this
may cause excessive engine speed (the
tachometer needle into the red zone) and
damage the engine.
