CAUTION
When   downshifting    from   fifth
The  manual transaxle  has  5 (or  6)  for-

gear
to   fourth    gear,    caution
should  be  taken not  to  inadver-
tently  press the  shift  lever  side-
ways  in such  a  manner that  the
second gear  is  engaged. Such  a
drastic downshift  may cause  the
engine  speed to  increase  to  the
point   that  the   tachometer   will
enter  the   red-zone.  Such   over-
revving of  the engine may  possi-
bly cause engine damage.
Do  not   downshift  more  than   2
gears or downshift the gear when
the   engine  is   running   at  high
speed   (5,000   RPM   or  higher).
Such a downshifting may damage
the engine.
This shift pattern is imprinted on the shift
knob. The transaxle is fully synchronized
in all forward gears so shifting to either a
higher or  a lower  gear is  easily accom-
plished.
Depress the clutch pedal down fully while
shifting, then release it slowly.
The  shift lever  must be  returned  to the
neutral  position   before  shifting  into   R
(Reverse). The ring (1) located below the
shift knob  must  be pulled  upward while
moving the shift lever to  the R (Reverse)
position.
The shift lever can be moved without
pulling the ring (1).
The ring (1) must be pulled while mov-
ing the shift lever.
Make  sure   the   vehicle  is   completely
stopped before shifting into R (Reverse).
Never   operate   the   engine    with   the
tachometer (rpm) in the red  zone.
