CAUTION
l Do not put the gearshift lever into the re-
verse position while the vehicle is moving
forward. Doing so could damage the trans-
mission.
l Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
while driving as this will cause premature
clutch wear or damage.
l Do not coast in the “N” (Neutral) position.
l Do not use the gearshift lever as a handrest,
because this can result in premature wear of
the transmission shift forks.

cult until the transmission lubricant has
warmed up. This is normal and not harmful
to the transmission.
