To start
Press the clutch pedal all the way down and shift into 1st or
“R” (Reverse) position. Then gradually release the clutch pedal
while depressing the accelerator pedal.
OTE
● If it is hard to shift into 1st, depress the clutch pedal a sec-
ond time; the shift will then be easier.
● To shift into reverse from 5th gear, move the gearshift
lever to the “N” (Neutral) position, and then shift it into
reverse.
Proper shift points
N00537400049
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.
CAUTION
!
● Do not move the gearshift lever into reverse while
the vehicle is moving forward; doing so will damage
the transaxle.
● 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
!
● Avoid downshifting that may cause the tachometer
pointer to enter the red zone.
This puts the engine at risk of being damaged.
