When Driving
Manual Transaxle Operation
      Manual  Transaxle  Shift 
Pattern
           
Neutral position
 
  The shift pattern of the transaxle is 
conventional, as shown.
  
  Depress the clutch pedal all the way down 
while shifting; then release it slowly.
  
  Your vehicle is equipped with a device to 
prevent shifting to R (reverse) by mistake. 
Push the shift lever downward and shift 
to R.
  
 
 
  WARNING 
  Do not use sudden engine braking on 
slippery road surfaces or at high speeds:  Shifting down while driving on wet, 
snowy, or frozen roads, or while driving 
at high speeds causes sudden engine 
braking, which is dangerous. The 
sudden change in tire speed could 
cause the tires to skid. This could 
lead to loss of vehicle control and an 
accident.
  
  Always leave the shift lever in 1 or R 
position and set the parking brake when 
leaving the vehicle unattended:   Otherwise the vehicle could move and 
cause an accident.
   
  CAUTION 
  Keep your foot off   the clutch pedal except when shifting gears. Also, do not 
use the clutch to hold the vehicle on an 
upgrade. Riding the clutch will cause 
needless clutch wear and damage.
  Do not apply any excessive lateral force to the shift lever when changing from 
5th to 4th gear. This could lead to the 
accidental selection of 2nd gear, which 
could result in damage to the transaxle.
  Make sure the vehicle comes to a complete stop before shifting to R. 
Shifting to R while the vehicle is still 
moving may damage the transaxle.
     
   NOTE
    If shifting to R is dif fi cult, shift back into 
neutral, release the clutch pedal, and try 
again.
