CAUTION
•
Shifting from a forward gear to the reverse
gear or vice versa, should be done only after
the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
When backing up, always double check to
make sure that there is nothing in your path.
•
When the gearshift lever is in the neutral
position, never keep your hand on it. Such
forward or backward pressure on the lever
could cause the transmission to malfunc-
tion, especially if you use a gearshift lever
extender because the gearshift lever is very
likely to move even if the pressure on the
extender is slight.
•
Depress the clutch pedal fully whenever
changing gear. If you do not depress the
pedal completely, the clutch will slip and the
clutch disc will be damaged, which could
lead to an accident.
•
The shift pattern is inscribed on the top of gear-
shift lever.
•
When the gearshift lever is placed in the reverse
(R) position, the backup lamps light up and the
backup buzzer sounds simultaneously.
