Manual Transmission - GMC 2011 Canyon Owner's Manual

9-40 Driving and Operating
1 (First): This position reduces
vehicle speed even more
than 2 (Second) without using
the brakes. You can use it on very
steep hills, or in deep snow or mud.
If the shift lever is put in 1 (First)
while the vehicle is moving forward,
the transmission will not shift into
first gear until the vehicle is going
slowly enough.
Notice: Spinning the tires
or holding the vehicle in
one place on a hill using only
the accelerator pedal may
damage the transmission.
The repair will not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. If you are
stuck, do not spin the tires. When
stopping on a hill, use the brakes
to hold the vehicle in place.

Manual Transmission

This is your shift pattern.
Here is how to operate the manual
transmission:
1 (First): Press the clutch pedal
and shift into 1 (First). Then,
slowly let up on the clutch pedal
as you slowly press down on the
accelerator pedal.
I n f o r ma t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :
You can shift into 1 (First) when
you are going less than 30 km/h
(20 mph). If you have come to a
complete stop and it is hard to shift
into 1 (First), put the shift lever in
Neutral and let up on the clutch.
Then press the clutch pedal back
down and shift into 1 (First).
2 (Second): Press the clutch pedal
as you let up on the accelerator
pedal and shift into 2 (Second).
Then, slowly let up on the clutch
pedal as you press the accelerator
pedal.
3 (Third), 4 (Fourth) and 5 (Fifth):
Shift into 3 (Third), 4 (Fourth)
and 5 (Fifth) the same way you
do for 2 (Second). 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.
