OPERATING THE MANUAL
TRANSAXLE
C070A02GK-EAT
The five speed fully synchronised
transaxle is controlled by a floor
mounted gearshift lever upon which the
shift pattern is indicated. It is important
that when changing gear, the clutch
pedal is fully depressed to avoid
transaxle damage.

CAUTION:
o Do not attempt to engage reverse
gear when the car is in motion.
o To avoid damaging the selector
mechanism, do not use the gear
shift lever as a hand rest. Release
the lever immediately the shift is
completed.
o To avoid premature clutch wear,
do not use the clutch pedal as a
foot rest, and do not hold the
vehicle on a gradient using the
clutch.
o Ensure that the engine is not over-
revved by upshifting before the
tachometer needle enters the red
zone.
o Do not coast with the gearshift
lever at the neutral position.
o When descending long gradi-
ents, make use of the engine brak-
ing to assist the footbrake to
avoid brake fade or over-heating.
o When slippery conditions are en-
countered, increased caution
should be exercised when gear
changing, braking or ac-
celerating. Abrupt changes in
speed may cause a loss of trac-
tion or control of the vehicle.
o During cold weather, shifting may
be difficult until the transaxle lu-
bricant has warmed up. This is
normal and not harmful to the
transaxle.
