Driving your vehicle

Manual transaxle operation

• The manual transaxle has 6 for-

ward gears.

This shift pattern is imprinted on

the shift knob. The transaxle is fully

synchronized in all forward gears

so shifting to either a higher or a

lower gear is easily accomplished.

• Press the clutch pedal down fully

while shifting, then release it slow-

ly.

If your vehicle is equipped with an

ignition lock switch, the engine will

not start when starting the engine

without depressing the clutch

pedal. (if equipped)

• The gearshift lever must be

returned to the neutral position

before shifting into R (Reverse).

The button (1) located immediately

below the shift knob must be pulled

upward while moving the shift lever

to the R (Reverse) position. (if

equipped)

•

Make sure the vehicle is complete-

ly stopped before shifting into R

(Reverse).

Never operate the engine with the

tachometer (rpm) in the red zone.

MANUAL TRANSAXLE (IF EQUIPPED)

CAUTION

• When downshifting from fifth

gear to fourth gear, caution

should be taken not to inad-

vertently press the gear shift

lever sideways in such a man-

ner that second gear is

engaged. Such a drastic

downshift may cause the

engine speed to increase to

the point that the tachometer

will enter the red-zone. Such

over-revving of the engine

may possibly cause engine

damage.

• Do not downshift more than 2

gears or downshift the gear

when the engine is running at

high speed (5,000 RPM or

higher). Such a downshifting

may damage the engine.
