5-14 Switches and controls
Clutch pedal
<Manual transmission vehicles>
• Do not operate the vehicle with your foot on the
clutch pedal as doing so can shorten the service
life of the clutch. Driving with your foot on the
clutch pedal could prevent engine braking and
exhaust braking from taking place.
• Depress the clutch pedal fully when changing
gear. If you do not depress the clutch pedal far
enough, the clutch will slip, possibly damaging
the clutch discs.
<Manual transmission vehicles>
CAUTION
• Shifting from a forward gear to the reverse
gear or vice versa, should be done only after
the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
When backing up, always double check to
make sure that there is nothing in your path.
• When the gearshift lever is in the neutral
position, never keep your hand on the lever,
as a forward or backward pressure resulting
from this practice could cause malfunction
of the transmission.
• When shifting, fully depress the clutch pedal
and then operate the gearshift lever. Other-
wise, damage to the transmission may
result.
• The gear pattern is inscribed on the top of gear-
shift lever.
• When the gearshift lever is placed in the reverse
(R) position, the backup lamps light up and the
backup buzzer sounds simultaneously.
