MANUAL TRANSMISSION
Shifting
To change gears, or when upshifting or
downshifting, fully depress the clutch
pedal, shift into the appropriate gear,
then slowly and smoothly release the
clutch.
This vehicle is equipped with a short
throw shifter manual transmission. To en-
sure smooth gear changes, fully depress
the clutch pedal before operating the shift
lever. If the clutch pedal is not fully de-
pressed before the transmission is
shifted, a gear noise may be heard. Trans-
mission damage could occur.
Start the vehicle in 1st gear and shift to
2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th gear in se-
quence according to the vehicle speed.
To back up, depress the shift lever and
then move it to the R (Reverse) gear after
stopping the vehicle completely.
If it is difficult to move the shift lever into
the R (Reverse) or 1st gear, shift to the N
(Neutral) position, and then release the
clutch pedal once. Fully depress the
clutch pedal again and shift into the R
(Reverse) or 1st gear.

roads. This may cause a loss of control.

to a lower gear. This may cause a loss of
control or engine damage.

while driving. This may damage the

pedal with the foot brake applied.
