Good driving practice
If it is difficult to shift into reverse, put

the transmission in neutral, release the
clutch pedal momentarily, and then try
again.
When towing a trailer, in order to main-
D
tain engine braking efficiency, do not
use sixth gear.

slippery surface. Abrupt shifting
could cause the vehicle to skid or

stopped before shifting into reverse.
z Do not use any gears other than
first gear when starting off and
