N00538400017
Vehicles equipped with 5-speed manual transaxle
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.
Vehicles equipped with 6-speed manual transaxle
Pull up the pull-ring (A), then move the gearshift lever to the
“R” (Reverse) position with the pull-ring still pulled.
CAUTION
!
● Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal because
this will cause premature clutch wear or damage.
● Do not coast in the “N” (Neutral) position (illegal in
many states).
● Do not use the gearshift lever as a handrest, because
this can result in premature wear of the transaxle
shift forks.
CAUTION
!
● Do not move the gearshift lever to the “R” (Reverse)
position while the vehicle is moving forward. This
could damage the transaxle.
CAUTION
!
● Do not pull up the pull-ring (A) when moving the
gearshift lever to any position other than the “R”
(Reverse) position. If you always pulled up the pull-
ring (A) when moving the gearshift lever, you could
unintentionally move the gearshift lever to the “R”
(Reverse) position and cause an accident and/or a
problem in the transaxle.
