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

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.

clutch.
3. Shift into first gear by moving the shift le-
ver forward. (The transmission gear dis-
play will show “1” when the transmission
gears have properly engaged.)
4. Release the brake pedal. 5. Press the accelerator pedal gradually and
at the same time, release the clutch pedal
slowly.
6. Once the vehicle has attained adequate speed, release the accelerator pedal, and
at the same time, quickly press the clutch
