Shifting the 5 Speed
The fully synchronized manual
transmission is very easy to shift
up or down. When you slow
down for traffic, steep hills, or
corners, shift to a lower gear
before the engine starts to labor.
When descending steep grades,
select a lower gear to help main­
tain a safe speed and to prevent
the brakes from overheating.
When shifting, depress the clutch pedal fully, shift gears and then
release the clutch gradually. Do not speed-shift; allow time for the
gears to synchronize. A safety lockout prevents accidental shifting
straight from 5th to Reverse.
WARNING Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration when either
or both driving wheels are on a slippery surface. Decreased traction
could cause loss of directional control.
Clutch Pedal Adjustment
Clutch pedal free travel must be adjusted periodically to compen­
sate for lining wear. If the clutch seems to slip or you have dif­
ficulty shifting, have an Acura dealer check its adjustment.
CA U TIO N :
• Do not drive with your foot on the clutch pedal as this will
cause premature wear of clutch components.
• Do not shift into reverse while the car is moving.
