Maximum allowable speeds
WARNING
When shifting down a gear, ensure that the vehicle is not travel-
ling at a speed exceeding the Maximum Allowable Speed for the
gear which is about to be selected. Failure to observe this pre-
caution can lead to engine over-revving and this in turn can
result in engine damage.
In addition, sudden application of engine brakes when the vehicle
is travelling on a slippery surface can lead to wheel locking; as a
consequence, control of the vehicle may be lost and the risk of
an accident increased.
The following table shows the maximum speeds that are possible with
each different gear.
Never exceed the speed limit below for each gear position except for
brief acceleration in an emergency. The tachometer’s needle (if so
equipped) will enter the red area if these speeds are exceeded. Fail-
ure to obseve this precaution can lead to excessive engine wear and
poor fuel economy.

Driving tips
Do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal and do not use
the clutch to hold your vehicle at a standstill on an upgrade. Either of
those actions may cause clutch damage.
Do not drive with your hand resting on the shift lever. This may cause
wear on the transmission components.
