to
operate your transmission:

Press the clutch pedal and shift into
FIRST

the
clutch pedal as

the
accelerator pedal.
You can shift into FIRST

when you’re going
less
than
20
mph
(30
kdh). If
you’ve
come to a complete
stop and it’s hard
to
shift into FIRST

put the shift
lever in NEUTRAL
(N)
and let up
on
the clutch. Press
the
clutch pedal back down. Then shift into FIRST
(1).
SECOND

Press the clutch pedal as you let up on
the accelerator pedal and shift into
SECOND

Then,
slowly let up
on
the
clutch pedal as you press the
accelerator pedal.

into THIRD

the same
way
you
do for
SECOND

clutch pedal as
you
press the accelerator pedal,
To stop, let up on the accelerator pedal and press the brake
pedal. Just before the vehicle stops, press the clutch pedal
and the brake pedal, and
shift
to
NEUTRAL
(N).
NEUTRAL
(N):
Use this position when you start or
idle your engine.
REVERSE
(R):
To back up, press the clutch pedal, wait
about six seconds, then shift into REVERSE (R). Then
let up on the clutch pedal slowly while pressing the
accelerator pedal.
NOTICE:
Shift
to REVERSE
(R)
only after your vehicle
is
stopped.
Shifting to REVERSE
(R)
while your
vehicle is moving could damage your transmission.
Use REVERSE (R), along with the parking brake, for
parking your vehicle.
