Manual transmission operation
The manual transmission has 6 for-
ward gears.
This shift pattern is imprinted on the
shift knob. The transmission is fully
synchronized in all forward gears so
shifting to either a higher or a lower
gear is easily accomplished.
Press the clutch pedal down fully
while shifting, then release it slowly.
If your vehicle is equipped with an
ignition lock switch, the engine will
not start when starting the engine
without depressing the clutch pedal.
(if equipped)The gearshift lever must be returned
to the neutral position before shifting
into R (Reverse).
Make sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before shifting into R(Reverse).
Never operate the engine with thetachometer (RPM) in the red zone.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION
When downshifting from fifth gear to fourth gear, cautionshould be taken not to inad-vertently press the gear shiftlever sideways in such a man-ner that second gear isengaged. Such a drasticdownshift may cause theengine speed to increase tothe point that the tachometerwill enter the red-zone. Suchover-revving of the enginemay possibly cause enginedamage.
Do not downshift more than 2 gears or downshift the gearwhen the engine is running athigh speed (5,000 RPM orhigher). Such downshiftingmay damage the engine,clutch and the transmission.
When shifting into 5th or 6th gear, press the shift lever tothe right. Otherwise, theengine could be damaged byaccidentally engaging 3rd or4th gear.

During cold weather, shifting may
be difficult until the transmission
lubricant has warmed up. This is
normal and not harmful to the
transmission.
If you've come to a complete stop and it's hard to shift into 1st or
R(Reverse), put the shift lever in
N(Neutral) position and release the
clutch. Press the clutch pedal back
down, and then shift into 1st or
R(Reverse) gear position.Using the clutch
The clutch should be pressed all the
way to the floor before shifting, then
released slowly. The clutch pedal
should always be fully released while
driving. Do not rest your foot on the
clutch pedal while driving. This can
cause unnecessary wear. Do not
partially engage the clutch to hold
the car on an incline. This causes
unnecessary wear. Use the foot
brake or parking brake to hold the
car on an incline. Do not operate the
clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly.
CAUTION
To avoid premature clutch wear and damage, do notdrive with your foot resting onthe clutch pedal. Also, don’tuse the clutch to hold thevehicle stopped on an uphillgrade, while waiting for a traf-fic light, etc.
Do not use the shift lever as a handrest during driving, asthis can result in prematurewear of the transmission shiftforks.
WARNING
Before leaving the driver’s seat,
always set the parking brake
fully and shut the engine off.
Then make sure the transmis-
sion is shifted into 1st gear
when the vehicle is parked on a
level or uphill grade, and shifted
into R (Reverse) on a downhill
grade. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occur if
these precautions are not fol-
lowed in the order identified.
