pedal. Then, move the gearshift lever into a desire gear. After shifting, release the clutch slowly.

• You should stop your vehicle and fully depress the
clutch pedal before you shift into the reverse position.
• If the clutch pedal is frequently half-depressed, the clutch
disk will be easily worn out. Use only as needed.
• Do not put your foot on the clutch pedal if not shifting
gears.
• When shifting from a high gear into a lower gear, en-
sure that the RPM gauge pointer does not go into the
red zone on the gauge. Especially, when shifting from
the 5th to the 4th gear, moving the gear shift lever to
the left too much may result in shifting into the 2nd
gear. This will cause a sudden increase of the en-
gine speed and may damage the engine and the
transmission.
• When the temperature of the transmission oil is very
low on a cold day, you may have some difficulty for
shifting gears. This is a normal phenomenon.
• When you have difficulty for shifting into the 1st or
reserve gear, put the gear shift lever into the neural
position and release the clutch pedal. Then, depress
the pedal again and shift into the intended gear.
• While your vehicle is moving, do not put your hand
on the shift lever except to shift gears. Otherwise,
the gear may be disengaged from the transmission
and the internal transmission components may be
damaged.
• Do not shift into the second next higher gear from a
lower gear. Also, while the engine is rotating fast, do
not shift into a lower gear.
CAUTION
3rd Gear
For low- or mid-speed driving.
Be careful to avoid any un-
wanted shift from the 2nd gear
into the 5th gear, rather than
the 3rd gear.
5th Gear
Position for very high speed driv-
ing on a highway
Be careful to avoid any unwanted
shift from the 5th gear into the 2nd
gear, rather than the 4th gear.
Reverse Gear
Position for reverse driving
