warmed  up.  This  is  normal  and  not
harmful to the transaxle.

The clutch pedal should be depressed all
the way  to the floor  before shifting, then
released slowly. The clutch pedal  should
always be fully released while driving. Do
not  rest  your  foot  on  the  clutch  pedal
while  driving. This  can cause  unneces-
sary  wear. Do  not  partially  engage the
clutch to  hold the  vehicle on  an incline.
This causes  unnecessary wear. Use the
foot  brake or  parking brake  to  hold the
vehicle on an incline. Do  not operate the
clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly.
Before  leaving the  driver’s  seat,
always set the parking brake fully
and  shut   the  engine   off.  Then
make sure the transaxle is shifted
into 1 (First)  gear when the  vehi-
cle is  parked on  a level or  uphill

movement can occur if these pre-
cautions  are not  followed  in the
order identified.
CAUTION
To  avoid  premature  clutch  wear
and  damage,  do  not  drive   with
your  foot  resting  on   the  clutch
pedal. Also,  don’t use the clutch
to hold the vehicle stopped on an
uphill  grade, while  waiting  for  a
traffic light, etc.
•  If   your  vehicle   has   a   manual
transaxle   not  equipped   with  a
ignition lock switch,  it may move
and   cause  a   serious   accident
when starting the  engine without
depressing the clutch pedal while
the parking brake is released and
the  shift lever  not in  the  neutral
position.
CAUTION
When  operating  the  clutch  pedal,
depress the clutch pedal down fully.
If   you  don’t   depress   the  clutch
pedal fully, the clutch may be dam-
aged or noise may occur.
Do  not  use  the  shift  lever  as  a
handrest  during  driving,  as  this
can  result  in  premature  wear  of
the transaxle shift forks.
