CAUTION
•
•
Keep your foot off the clutch pedal
except when shifting gears. Also,
don’t use the clutch to hold the
vehicle on an upgrade. This will
avoid needless clutch wear and
damage.
wManual Transaxle Shift Pattern
Make sure the vehicle comes to a
complete stop before shifting to
reverse.
Neutral position
Shifting to reverse while the vehicle
is still moving may damage the
transaxle.
NOTE
The shift pattern of the transaxle is
conventional, as shown.
If shifting to reverse is difficult, shift
into neutral, release the clutch pedal,
and try again.
Press the clutch pedal all the way down
while shifting; then release it slowly.
wRecommendations for Shifting

A safety feature prevents accidental
shifting from 5 to reverse. The shift lever
must be put in neutral before being shifted
to reverse.

Sudden Engine-Braking:
Shifting down while driving on wet,
snowy, or frozen roads, or while
driving at high speeds causes sudden
engine braking, which is dangerous.
The sudden change in tire speed
could cause the tires to skid. This
could lead to loss of vehicle control
and an accident. Do not use sudden
engine braking on slippery road
surfaces or at high speeds.
