The shift pattern is shown on the gearshift lever knob. Be sure
to always fully depress the clutch pedal before attempting to
shift the lever.
NOTE
●
If it is hard to shift into 1st, depress the clutch pedal again;
the shift will then be easier to make.
●
To shift into reverse from 5th gear, move the gearshift
lever to the “N” (Neutral) position, and then shift it into
reverse.
●
To avoid grinding noises when shifting into reverse, wait
approximately 3 seconds with the clutch depressed when
the vehicle is stationary.
CAUTION
!
●
Do not move the gearshift lever into reverse while
the vehicle is moving forward; doing so will damage
the transmission.
●
Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driv-
ing as this will cause premature clutch wear or dam-
age.
