• Be sure that all windows, outside mir-ror(s), and outside lights are clean.
Visually check the tires for uneven wear and damage.
Check under the vehicle for any sign of leaks.
Be sure there are no obstacles behind you if you intend to back up. Before starting
Make sure the hood, the tailgate, and
the doors are securely closed and
locked.
Adjust the position of the seat and steering wheel.
Adjust the inside and outside rearview mirrors.
Verify all lights work.
Fasten your seatbelt. Check that all passengers have fastened their seat-
belts.
Check the gauges and indicators in the instrument panel and the messages on
the instrument display when the igni-
tion switch is in the ON position.

BEFORE DRIVING
WARNING
All passengers must be properly
belted whenever the vehicle is mov-
ing. Refer to “Seat belts” in chapter
3 for more information on their
proper use.
WARNING - Driving under
the influence of alcohol or drugs
NEVER drink or take drugs and
drive. Drinking or taking drugs and
driving is dangerous and mayresult in an accident and SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH.
Drunk driving is the number one
contributor to the highway death
toll each year. Even a small amount
of alcohol will affect your reflexes,
perceptions and judgment. Just
one drink can reduce your ability to
respond to changing conditions
and emergencies and your reaction
time gets worse with each addition-al drink. Driving while under the influence of
drugs is as dangerous or more dan-
gerous than driving under the influ-ence of alcohol.
You are much more likely to have a
serious accident if you drink or
take drugs and drive. If you are
drinking or taking drugs, don't
drive. Do not ride with a driver whohas been drinking or taking drugs.Choose a designated driver or calla taxi.

Manual transaxle operation
The manual transaxle has five forward
gears. The transaxle is fully synchronized
in all forward gears so shifting to either a
higher or a lower gear is easily accom-plished.To shift to R (Reverse), make sure the
vehicle has completely stopped, and
then move the shift lever to neutral before
moving into R (Reverse).
When you've come to a complete stop and it's hard to shift into 1st gear or R
(Reverse):
1. Put the shift lever in neutral and
release the clutch pedal.
2. Depress the clutch pedal, and then shift into first or R (Reverse) gear.
✽✽
NOTICE
During cold weather, shifting may be
difficult until the transaxle lubricant
has warmed up.
Using the clutch
The clutch pedal should be depressed all
the way to the floor before:
- Starting the engine The engine will not start without
depressing the clutch pedal. (vehicles
equipped with engine start/stop button)
- Shifting When releasing the clutch pedal, release
it slowly. The clutch pedal should always
be released while driving.

Downshifting
Downshift when you must slow down in
heavy traffic or drive up a steep hill to
prevent engine load.
Also, downshifting reduces the chance of
stalling and can accelerate when you
need to increase your speed again.
When the vehicle is going downhill,
downshifting helps maintain safe speed
by providing brake power from the engine
and enables less wear on the brakes. Good driving practices
Never take the vehicle out of gear and
coast down a hill. This is extremely
dangerous.
Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause the brakes and related parts to over-heat and malfunction.
When you are driving down a long hill,
slow down and shift to a lower gear.
Engine braking will help slow down the
vehicle.
Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. This will help avoid over-revving
the engine, which can cause damage.
Slow down when you encounter cross winds. This gives you much better con-
trol of your vehicle.
Be sure the vehicle is completely stopped before you shift into R
(Reverse) to prevent damage to the
transaxle.
Exercise extreme caution when driving on a slippery surface. Be especially
careful when braking, accelerating or
shifting gears. On a slippery surface,
an abrupt change in vehicle speed can
cause the drive wheels to lose traction
and may cause loss of vehicle controlresulting in an accidentCAUTION
To prevent damage to the engine:
When downshifting from 5th gear to 4th gear, be careful not to inad-
vertently push the shift leversideways engaging the 2nd gear. A drastic downshift may cause
the engine speed to increase to the point the tachometer will enter the red-zone.
Do not downshift more than one gear at a time or downshift the
gear when the engine is runningat high speed (5,000 RPM or high-er).
