Note: You can only move the gearshift lever
to crawler (C) by raising the collar below
the gearshift knob up before shifting to
crawler. This is a lockout feature which
protects the transmission from accidentally
engaging crawler (C) when intending to
select second (2).
If crawler (C) is not fully engaged, press
the clutch pedal down and return the
gearshift to the neutral position. Release
the clutch pedal, then raise the collar and
shift to crawler (C) again.
The crawler gear enables an easier start in
unusual conditions or terrain. You should
change up to first (1) when possible and
refrain from using crawler (C) at high
engine speeds as transmission damage
could result. See Manual Transmission
Precautions (page 174).
In normal use, ensure your vehicle is
stationary before selecting crawler (C) as
it is primarily a starting gear. If you change
down to crawler (C) from first (1) while the
vehicle is moving, ensure an engine speed
is below 1500 rpm, and that the clutch
pedal is fully pressed for a smooth
transition to crawler gear.
RECOMMENDED SHIFT
SPEEDS
Recommended Shift Speeds
For best fuel efficiency when driving your
vehicle, shift to the next gear by 3000
RPM.
Shifting at a higher RPM such as
3000-6000 RPM can increase the
performance capabilities of the vehicle.
However, higher engine and transmission
speeds can increase wear and reduce fuel
economy.
When downshifting your vehicle, always
shift at the lowest engine RPM possible to
match your driving conditions. This is
usually under 2000 RPM for all forward
gears, except for downshifting into the
crawler (C) gear which you should do
below 1500 RPM. See Manual
Transmission Precautions (page 174).
Note: Always fully depress the clutch pedal
between gear shifts.
