Cometo a full stop before you shift
intoReverse.You candamage the
transmission by trying to shift into
Reverse with the vehicle moving.
Pushdown theclutch pedal, and
pause for a few seconds before
shifting into Reverse, or shift into
one of the forward gears for a
moment. This stops the gears so
they won’t ‘‘grind.’’
When slowing down, you can get
extra braking from the engine by
shifting to a lower gear.This extra
braking can help youmaintain a safe
speed and prevent your brakes from
overheating while going down a
steep hill. Before downshifting,
make sure engine speed will not go
into the tachometer’s red zonein the
lower gear.
