Please wait for 2 ～ 3 seconds before shifting to R gear,
otherwise the damage to the reverse gear may occur.
Please wait for 1 ～ 3 seconds before shifting to
forward gear, otherwise the excessive wear to the
synchronizer may occur.
2 Do not rest your hand on the shift lever while driving
- pressure from your hand may cause premature wear
to the gear shift mechanism.
3 Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal when driving
- excessive wear to the clutch may occur.
4 Do not hold the car stationary on a hill by slipping the
clutch. This will wear out the clutch.
Gear Shift Indications
When the vehicle is in motion and the clutch pedal fully
released, the information centre will display the currently
selected gear (1-6). An Up/Down arrow is displayed to the
right of the number indicating to the driver to either upshift
or downshift when driving conditions permit.
Note: The gear shift operation should be carried
out on the premise of ensuring your own safety and
observing the traffic regulations.
