The shift pattern is shown on the gearshift lever
knob. Be sure to always fully depress the clutch ped-
al before attempting to shift the lever.
CAUTION
l Do not move the gearshift lever into re-
verse while the vehicle is moving for-
ward; doing so will damage the transmis-
sion.
l Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
while driving as this will cause premature
clutch wear or damage.
CAUTION
l If the clutch is engaged suddenly while
the engine revolution is high, an extreme-
ly large load will be applied instantaneous-
ly to the power train, possibly leading to
the breakage of that component. Please en-
sure, therefore, that the clutch pedal is al-
ways applied in a slow yet firm manner.
Your vehicle has a special feature to pro-
tect the power train from damage; the en-
gine is controlled in such a way that exces-
sive increase in engine revolution is pre-
vented in situations where the accelerator
pedal is depressed while the gearshift lev-
er is in the 1
st
position and the clutch ped-
al has been depressed.
NOTE
l
If it is hard to shift into 1
st
, depress the
clutch pedal again; the shift will then be eas-
ier to make.
l
To shift into reverse from the 5
th
gear, move
the gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion, and then shift it into reverse.
