gears. The engine and drivetrain are not
designed to withstand the shock of
forced shifting and can be damaged by
shifting without using the clutch. To start out and accelerate
1. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal,
apply the brake, and then release the
parking brake if applied. NOTICE: Al-
ways take your foot off the accelerator
pedal before shifting gears, otherwise
damage to the engine and drivetrain
may result.
