Here's how to operate your transmission:
FIRST (1): Press the clutch pedal and shift into
FIRST (1). Then, slowly let up on the clut.ch pedal
as you press the accelerator pedal.
You can shift into
FIRST ( 1 )
when you're going less
than 20 mph
(30
km/h). If you've come to a complete
stop and
it's
hard to shift into FIRST (I), put the shift
lever in NEUTRAL (N) and let up on the clutch. Press
the clutch pedal back down. Then shift into FIRST
(1).
SECOND (2):
Press the clutch pedal as you let up on
the accelerator pedal and shift into SECOND ( 2 ) . Then,
slowly let up on the clutch pedal as you press the
accelerator pedal.
THIRD, FOURTH AND FIFTH (3,4 and 5): Shift
into THIRD (3), FOURTH (4) and FIFTH ( 5 ) the same
way you do for SECOND (2). Slowly let up on the
clutch pedal as you press the accelerator pedal.
To stop, let up on
the
accelerator pedal and press
the
brake pedal. Just before the vehicle stops, press the
clutch pedal and the brake pedal, and shift to
NEUTRAL (N).
NEUTRAL (N): Use this position when you
start or
idle your engine.
