Shift Speeds
CAUTION:
If you skip a gear when you downshift, you could
lose control of your vehicle. You could injure
yourself or others. Don’t shift down more than
one gear at a time when you downshift.
Shift Light (United States Only)
If you have a manual
transaxle, you have a shift
light. This light will show
you when to shift to the
next higher gear for best
fuel economy.
When this light comes on, you should shift to the next
higher gear if weather, road and traffic conditions let
you. For best fuel economy, accelerate slowly and shift
when the light comes on.
While you accelerate, it is normal for the light to go on
and off if you quickly change the position of the
accelerator. Ignore the shift light when you downshift.
Parking Brake
The parking brake is located between the seats. To set
the parking brake, hold the brake pedal down and pull
up on the parking brake lever. If the ignition is on, the
brake system warning light will come on.
