Driving your vehicle
MANUAL TRANSAXLE (IF EQUIPPED)
Manual transaxle operation
The manual transaxle has 6 forward
gears.
CAUTION
•
When downshifting from 5th
(Fifth) gear to 4th (Fourth) gear,
caution should be taken not to
inadvertently move the shift lever
sideways in such a manner that
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 and transaxle
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 and transaxle.
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.
If your vehicle is equipped with an igni-
tion lock system, the engine will not start
when
starting
the
engine
without
depressing the clutch pedal.
The shift lever can be moved without
pulling the button (1).
The shift lever must return to the Neutral
position before shifting into R (Reverse).
The button (1) located immediately below
the shift knob must be pulled upward
while moving the shift lever to the R
(Reverse) position.
Make sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before shifting into R (Reverse).
Never operate the engine with the
tachometer (rpm) in the red zone.
•
The button (1) must be pulled up
while moving the shift lever.

The actual shift lever in the vehicle may
differ from the illustration.
• When shifting from 5th gear to
6th gear or from 6th gear to 5th
gear, push the shift lever to the
right while shifting. Otherwise,
the shift lever might move to 3rd
gear or 4th gear and it may dam-
age the engine and transaxle.
