Use each gear in numerical order, do not skip a gear. Be
sure the transmission is in first gear, (not third), when
starting from a standing position. Damage to the clutch
can result from starting in a gear higher than first gear.
CAUTION!
•
Launching in any gear except 1st gear will result in
excessive slipping of the clutch and potentially
lugging or stalling the engine.
•
Use each gear in numerical order, do not skip a
gear. Be sure the transmission is in first gear, (not
third), when starting from a standing position.
Damage to the clutch can result from starting in a
gear higher than first gear.
For most city driving, you will find it easier to use only
the lower gears. For steady highway driving with light
accelerations, fifth gear is recommended.
Never drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal,
and never try to hold the vehicle on a hill with the clutch
pedal partially engaged. This will cause abnormal wear
on the clutch.
