CAUTION!
Never drive with your foot resting on the clutch

pedal, or attempt to hold the vehicle on a hill
with the clutch pedal partially engaged, as this
will cause abnormal wear on the clutch.
Do not drive with your hand resting on the gear

selector as the force exerted, even if slight,
could lead over time to premature wear of the
gearbox internal components.
NOTE:
During cold weather, you may experience
increased effort in shifting until the transmission
fluid warms up. This is normal.
Gear Selector
To shift the gears, fully press the clutch pedal and
place the gear selector into the desired gear
position (the diagram for the engagement of the
gears is displayed on the handle of the selector).
To engage REVERSE gear from the NEUTRAL
position, lift the REVERSE ring, located below the
knob and move the gear selector all the way left
and then forward.
