could cause you to lose control of your vehicle. You
could have an accident.

ing or downshift at too high an engine speed, you
could damage the engine, transmission, or clutch.

•

Do not downshift into first gear when the vehicle
is moving faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), as you
could damage the engine and/or clutch.
