NOTE:
During cold weather, you may experience in-
creased effort in shifting until the transmission
fluid warms up. This is normal.
To shift the gears, fully press the clutch pedal
and place the gear selector into the desired gear
position (the diagram for the engagement of the
gears is displayed on the handle of the selector).
To engage REVERSE gear from the NEUTRAL
position, lift the REVERSE ring, located below
the knob and move the gear selector all the way
left and then forward.
Shifting
Fully press the clutch pedal before shifting
gears. As you release the clutch pedal, lightly
press the accelerator pedal.
You should always use first gear when starting
from a standing position.
Recommended Vehicle Shift Speeds
To utilize your manual transmission efficiently for
fuel economy and performance, it should be
upshifted as listed in the recommended shift
speed chart. Shift at the vehicle speeds listed for
acceleration. When heavily loaded or pulling a
trailer, these recommended up-shift speeds may
not apply.
