clutch pedal and shift into
FIRST (1). Then slowly let up on the clutch pedal as
you press the accelerator pedal.
You can shift into FIRST
(1)
when you're going less
than 20 mph (32 km/h). If you've come to a complete
stop and it's hard to shift into FIRST (l), put the shift
lever in NEUTRAL (N) and let up on the clutch. Press
the clutch pedal 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.

(5) and SIXTH (6) gear 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 brake pedal, and shift to
NEUTRAL (N).
NEUTRAL (N):
Use this position when you start or
idle your engine.
REVERSE

To back up, press the clutch pedal and
shift
into
REVERSE (R). Let up on the clutch pedal
slowly while pressing the accelerator pedal. If you shift
from SIXTH
(6),
into REVERSE (R), the shift lever
must be first placed in NEUTRAL
(N)
position centered
between SECOND ( 2 ) and THIRD (3) prior to shifting
into REVERSE (R).
Your six-speed manual transmission has a feature that
allows you to safely shift into REVERSE (R) while the
vehicle is rolling (at less than 5 mph (8
km/h)).
If you have turned your ignition off and want to park your
vehicle i n REVERSE (R), you will have to move
the shift
lever quickly to the right, then forward into gear.
