MANUAL TRANSMISSION
5-Speed Manual Transmission
Using the Clutch
Note: Failure to fully press the clutch pedal
to the floor may cause increased shift
efforts, prematurely wear transmission
components or damage the transmission.
Note: Do not drive with your foot resting on
the clutch pedal or use the clutch pedal to
hold your vehicle at a standstill while
waiting on a hill. These actions will reduce
the life of the clutch.

Transmission
Recommended Shift Speeds
Note: Do not downshift into 1 (First) when
your vehicle is moving faster than 24 km/h.
This will damage the clutch and
prematurely wear transmission
components.
The engine is designed to operate at a
minimum of 1250 RPM for optimal power,
fuel economy, and durability. When driving
a vehicle equipped with a manual
transmission, do not operate the engine
below 1250 RPM while driving with the
transmission in any gear. This does not
apply while starting or idling the engine
while the transmission is in neutral and/or
the clutch pedal is pressed. Lugging the
engine below 1250 RPM may result in
damage to the vehicle engine, poor fuel
economy, poor acceleration, and
undesirable noise, vibration, and harshness.
Choose the next lowest gear until a proper
engine RPM is reached.
