Driving your vehicle
•
During cold weather, shifting may
be difficult until the transmission
lubricant has warmed up. This is
normal and not harmful to the
transmission.
If you've come to a complete stop
and it's hard to shift into 1st or
R(Reverse), put the shift lever in
N(Neutral) position and release the
clutch. Press the clutch pedal back
down, and then shift into 1st or
R(Reverse) gear position.
Using the clutch
WARNING
The clutch should be pressed 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 unnecessary wear. Do not
partially engage the clutch to hold
the car on an incline. This causes
unnecessary wear. Use the foot
brake or parking brake to hold the
car 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 transmis-
sion is shifted into 1st gear
when the vehicle is parked on a
level or uphill grade, and shifted
into R (Reverse) on a downhill
grade. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occur if
these precautions are not fol-
lowed 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 traf-
fic light, etc.
•
Do not use the shift lever as a
handrest during driving, as
this can result in premature
wear of the transmission shift
forks.
