the "P" position even though the brake
pedal is depressed, use the shift lock
override lever. For instructions, see "If you
cannot shift automatic transmission selec-
tor lever" in Part 4.
Manual transmission
The shift pattern is as shown above.
Press the clutch pedal down fully while
shifting, and then release it slowly. Do not
rest your foot on the pedal while driving,
because it will cause clutch trouble. And
do not use the clutch to hold the vehicle
when stopped on an uphill gradeuse the
parking brake.

upshifting or downshifting is easy.
