Starting and operating
WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle with the
clutch disengaged (i.e., when the
clutch pedal is depressed) or with
the shift lever in the neutral position.
Engine braking has no effect in
either of these conditions and the
risk of an accident is consequently
increased.
&
Selecting reverse gear
1)
Slider
You must raise the slider and hold it in that
position before you can move the shift
lever to the
“
R
”
position.
To change gears, fully depress the clutch
pedal, move the shift lever, and gradually
let up on the clutch.
If it is difficult to shift into gear, put the
transmission in neutral, release the clutch
pedal momentarily, and then try again.
CAUTION
Shift into reverse ONLY when the
vehicle has completely stopped. It
may cause damage to the transmis-
sion to try shifting into reverse when
the vehicle is moving.

Shifting speeds
!
Recommended shifting speeds
The best compromise between fuel econ-
omy and vehicle performance during
normal driving is ensured by shifting up
at the speeds listed in the following table.
Shift up
mph (km/h)
1st to 2nd
15 (24)
2nd to 3rd
25 (40)
3rd to 4th
40 (64)
4th to 5th

Maximum allowable speeds
The following table shows the maximum
speeds that are possible with each differ-
ent gear. The tachometer
’
s needle will
enter the red area if these speeds are
exceeded.
With the exception of cases where sudden
acceleration is required, the vehicle
should not be driven with the tachometer
’
s
needle inside the red area. Failure to
observe this precaution can lead to
excessive engine wear and poor fuel
economy.
Gear
mph (km/h)
1st
31 (50)
2nd
50 (81)
3rd
74 (119)
4th

WARNING
When shifting down a gear, ensure
that the vehicle is not travelling at a
speed exceeding the Maximum Al-
lowable Speed for the gear which is
about to be selected. Failure to
observe this precaution can lead to
engine over-revving and this in turn
can result in engine damage.
