Manual transmission
To run stably, manual transmission all has
synchronizer on all of driving gear. Manual
transmission has locking device, to avoid
shifting gear from the fifth gear to reverse
gear directly. When shifting gear, you must
tread the clutch pedal down to bottom.
When not shifting gear, don’t put you feet
on the clutch pedal, or it can accelerate the
abrasion of clutch.
Only after stopping the vehicle completely,
you may shift to reverse gear. If you shift to
reverse gear when the vehicle doesn’t stop
completely, it will damage the transmission.
After treading down the clutch pedal, and
before shifting to reverse gear, you should
stop a few seconds, or shift to one driving
gear and stop for a moment. In this way, it
will make the gear stop running, and avoid
“milling” each other.
When decelerating, obtain additional
braking force from the engine by the way of
downshifting. The additional braking force
is helpful to keep one safety speed, when
driving down the ramp; it can prevent the
braking system overheating. Before
downshifting, you need to ensure that the
engine speed display doesn’t enter in the red
area of tachometer. Please see the max
permissible speedometer.
Friendly tips

rapid acceleration or rapid deceleration
both can cause the vehicle out of
control. Once when having a car
collision accident, it will cause injury to
you.
You should be more careful when
driving on slippery road.
