WARNING
. Do not drive the vehicle with the
clutch disengaged (i.e., when the
clutch pedal is depressed) or
with the shift lever in the neutral
position. Engine braking has no
effect in either of these condi-
tions and the risk of an accident
is consequently increased.
. Do not engage the clutch (i.e.,
release the clutch pedal) sud-
denly when starting the vehicle.
By doing so the vehicle might
unexpectedly accelerate or the
transmission could malfunction.
& Selecting reverse gear
1) Slider
You must raise the slider and hold it in that
position before you can move the shift
lever to the R position.
To change gears, fully depress the clutch
pedal, move the shift lever, and gradually
let up on the clutch.
If it is difficult to shift into gear, put the
transmission in neutral, release the clutch
pedal momentarily, and then try again.
CAUTION
Shift into reverse ONLY when the
vehicle has completely stopped. It
may cause damage to the transmis-
sion to try shifting into reverse when
the vehicle is moving.
& Shifting speeds
! Recommended shifting speeds
The best compromise between fuel econ-
omy and vehicle performan ce durin g
normal driving is ensured by shifting up
at the speeds listed in the following table.

! Maximum allowable speeds
The following table shows the maximum
speeds that are possible with each differ-
ent gear. The tachometers needle will
enter the red area if these speeds are
exceeded.
With the exception of cases where sudden
acceleration is requi red, th e vehicl e
should not be driven with the tachometers
needle inside the red area. Failure to
observe this precaution can lead to
excessive eng ine wear and poor fuel
