Good driving practice
! If it is difficult to shift into reverse, put
the transmission in neutral, release the
clutch pedal momentarily, and then try
again.
! When towing a trailer, in order to main-
tain engine braking efficiency, do not
use fifth gear (5−speed models) or
sixth gear (6−speed models).
CAUTION
Be careful when downshifting on a
slippery surface. Abrupt shifting
could cause the vehicle to spin or
skid.
NOTICE
Make sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before shifting into reverse.
