which could cause an accident.
The anti-theft steering column lock is not a substitute for the
parking brake. Before leaving
the driver's seat, always make
sure the shift lever is engaged
in P (Park), set the parking
brake fully and shut the
engine off. Unexpected and
sudden vehicle movement
may occur if these precau-
tions are not taken.
(Continued)

cle is in motion. The presence
of your hand or arm in the
area could cause loss of vehi-
cle control, an accident and
serious bodily injury or death.
Do not place any movable objects around the driver's
seat as they may move while
driving, interfere with the driv-
er and lead to an accident.

Starting and stopping the engine
for turbocharger intercooler
1. Do not race or accelerate the engine immediately after starting.
If the engine is cold, idle for sever-
al seconds to ensure sufficient
lubrication in the turbocharger
unit.
2. After high speed or extended driv- ing, requiring a heavy engine load,
idle the engine about 1 minute
before turning it off.
This idle time will allow the tur- bocharger to cool prior to shutting
the engine off.

Even if the smart key is in the vehi- cle, if it is far away from you, the
engine may not start.
When the ENGINE START/STOP button is in the ACC position or

“Key is not in the vehicle” will appear
on the instrument cluster and LCD
Display. And if all doors are closed,
the chime will sound for 5 seconds.
The indicator or warning will turn off
while the vehicle is moving. Always
have the smart key with you.

Manual transmission opera-
tion
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.
Depress 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.
The shift lever must be returned to
the neutral position before shifting
into R (Reverse). The button (1)
located below the shift knob must be
pulled upward while moving the shift
lever to the R (Reverse) position.
Make sure the vehicle is completelystopped before shifting into R(Reverse).
Never operate the engine with thetachometer (rpm) in the red zone.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION - Downshifting
When downshifting from fifth gear to fourth gear, cautionshould be taken not to inad-vertently press the shift leversideways in such a mannerthat the 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 engine andtransmission may possiblycause engine damage.
Do not downshift more than 2 gears or downshift the gearwhen the engine is running athigh speed (5,000 RPM orhigher). Such a downshiftingmay damage the engine,clutch and the transmission.
OYB056058
The shift lever can be moved without-
pressing the button.

During cold weather, shifting may
be difficult until the transmission
lubricant is warmed up. This is nor-
mal and not harmful to the trans-
mission.
If you've come to a complete stop and it's hard to shift into 1st or R
(Reverse), leave the shift lever at
the N (Neutral) position and
release the clutch. Depress the
clutch pedal and then shift into 1st
or R (Reverse) gear position.
CAUTION - Premature
wear
Do not use the shift lever as ahandrest during driving, as thiscan result in premature wear ofthe transmission shift forks.
CAUTION
To prevent possible damage to the clutch system, do notstart with the 2nd (second)gear engaged except whenyou start on a slippery road.
If the clutch pedal is released rapidly after shifting into 1stor R(Reverse), it could causethe engine to stall and lead toan accident.
The clutch pedal should be fully depressed. When thepedal is released, make surenot to depress the pedal againbefore it returns to the normalposition. Failure to do sorepeatedly may cause damageto the clutch system.
Do not overload the vehicle. Driving with the vehicle over-loaded could cause abnormalfriction heat to the clutch diskand damage the clutch coverand disk.
WARNING- Shift lever
position
Before leaving the driver’s seat, always set the parking
brake fully and shut the
engine off. Then make sure
the transmission 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 sud-
den vehicle movement can
occur if these precautions are
not followed in the order iden-
tified.
Do not use the engine brake (shifting from a high gear to
lower gear) rapidly on slip-
pery roads. The vehicle may
slip, causing an accident.
