When shifting into reverse gear, pull the miss-
shift prevention tab and shift into reverse gear
position. (B Type : 6 speed type)
CAUTION:
o Do not attempt to engage reverse gear
when the car is in motion.
o To avoid damaging the selector mecha-
nism, do not use the gear shift lever as a
hand rest. Release the lever immediately
the shift is completed.
o To avoid premature clutch wear, do not
use the clutch pedal as a foot rest, and do
not hold the vehicle on a gradient using
the clutch.
o Ensure that the engine is not over-revved
by upshifting before the tachometer needle
enters the red zone.
o Do not coast with the shift lever at the
neutral position.
o When descending long gradients, make
use of the engine braking to assist the
footbrake to avoid brake fade or over-
heating.
o When slippery conditions are encountered,
increased caution should be exercised
when gear changing, braking or ac-
celerating. Abrupt changes in speed may
cause a loss of traction or control of the
vehicle.
NOTE:
o During cold weather, shifting may be dif-
ficult until the transaxle lubricant has
warmed up. This is normal and not harm-
ful to the transaxle.
o If you 've come to a complete stop and
it's hard to shift into 1
st
or R(Reverse),
put the shift lever in N(Neutral) position
and let up on the clutch. Press the clutch
pedal back down, and then shift into 1
st
or R(Reverse) gear position.
o Do not use the shift lever as a handrest
during driving, as this can result in pre-
mature wear of the transaxle shift forks.

Using the Clutch
The clutch should be pressed all the way to the
floor before shifting, then released slowly. Do
not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while
driving.
This can cause unnecessary wear.
Do not partially engage the clutch to hold the
car on an incline. This causes unnecessary
wear.
Use the parking brake to hold the car on an
incline. Do not operate the clutch pedal rapidly
and repeatedly.
