Press the clutch pedal all the way down and

gradually release the clutch pedal while
depressing the accelerator pedal.

Always use care to change the gear with the
vehicle speed matched to the engine speed.
Proper shifting will improve fuel economy
and prolong engine life.

For the best fuel economy and performance in
using your manual transaxle, upshift as listed
below.
At low altitude locations, shift at the vehicle
speeds listed. Upshifting earlier during cruise
conditions (relatively steady speeds) will
improve your fuel economy.
NOTE
 During cold weather, shifting may be diffi-
cult until the transaxle lubricant has warmed
up. This is normal and not harmful to the
transaxle.
To start
CAUTION
 Do not move the gearshift lever into reverse
while the vehicle is moving forward; doing
so will damage the transaxle.
 Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
because this will cause premature clutch
wear or damage.
 Do not coast in the “N” (Neutral) position
(illegal in many states).
 Do not use the gearshift lever as a handrest,
because this can result in premature wear of
the transaxle shift forks.
NOTE
 If it is hard to shift into 1st, depress the
clutch pedal a second time; the shift will then
be easier.
 To shift into reverse from 5th gear, move the
gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position,
and then shift it into reverse.
 To avoid grinding noises when shifting into
reverse, wait approximately 3 seconds with
the clutch pedal depressed when the vehicle
is stationary.
Proper shift points
CAUTION CAUTION
 Avoid downshifting that may cause the
tachometer pointer to enter the red zone.
This puts the engine at risk of being dam-
aged.
