Always use care to change the gear with the vehicle speed
matched to the engine speed. Proper shifting will improve fuel
economy and prolong engine life.
CAUTION
!
● Do not move the gearshift lever into reverse while
the vehicle is moving forward; doing so will damage
the transaxle.
● Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal because
this will cause premature clutch wear or damage.
● Do not coast in the “N” (Neutral) position (illegal in
many states).
● Do not use the gearshift lever as a handrest, because
this can result in premature wear of the transaxle
shift forks.
CAUTION
!
● Avoid downshifting that may cause the tachometer
pointer to enter the red zone.
This puts the engine at risk of being damaged.
