Driving your vehicle
Manual transaxle operation
• The manual transaxle has 6 for-
ward gears.
This shift pattern is imprinted on
the shift knob. The transaxle is fully
synchronized in all forward gears
so shifting to either a higher or a
lower gear is easily accomplished.
• Press the clutch pedal down fully
while shifting, then release it slowly.
If your vehicle is equipped with an
ignition lock switch, the engine will
not start when starting the engine
without depressing the clutch
pedal. (if equipped)
• The gearshift lever must be
returned to the neutral position
before shifting into R (Reverse).
The button (1) located immediately
below the shift knob must be pulled
upward while moving the shift lever
to the R (Reverse) position. (if
equipped)
•
Make sure the vehicle is complete-
ly stopped before shifting into R
(Reverse).
Never operate the engine with the
tachometer (rpm) in the red zone.
