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.
NOTE
l During cold weather, shifting may be diffi-
cult until the transmission lubricant has
warmed up. This is normal and not harmful
to the transmission.
l
If it is hard to shift into 1
st
, depress the
clutch pedal again; the shift will then be eas-
ier to make.
l The gearshift indicator (if so equipped)
shows recommended gearshift points for
fuel-efficient driving. It shows a
in the
multi-information display when an upshift is
recommended, and it shows a
when a
downshift is recommended.
Moving the gearshift lever to
the “R” (Reverse) position
Pull up the pull-ring (A), then move the gear-
shift lever to the “R” (Reverse) position with
the pull-ring still pulled.
CAUTION
l
Do not pull up the pull-ring (A) when mov-
ing the gearshift lever to any position other
than the “R” (Reverse) position. If you al-
ways pulled up the pull-ring (A) when mov-
ing the gearshift lever, you could uninten-
tionally move the gearshift lever to the “R”
(Reverse) position and cause an accident
and/or a transmission fault.
The pull-ring will return to its original posi-
tion when you return the gearshift lever to the
“N” (Neutral) position.
CAUTION
l
If the pull-ring will not return from the
pulled-up position, we recommend you to
have the vehicle inspected.
Possible driving speed
Avoid shifting down at high speed, as this
may cause excessive engine speed (the tach-
ometer needle into the red zone) and damage
the engine.
