Driving
Recommended shift speeds
Do not downshift into 1 (First) when your vehicle is moving
faster than 30 mph (48 km/h). This may damage the clutch and/or
transmission.
Upshift according to the following chart:
Upshifts when accelerating (recommended for best fuel
1 - 2
2 - 3
3 - 4
4 - 5
5 - 6
Reverse
1. Make sure that your vehicle is at a complete stop before you shift into
R (Reverse). Failure to do so may damage the transmission.
2. Move the gearshift lever into the neutral position and wait at least
three seconds before shifting into R (Reverse).
3. Shift into R (Reverse) by pulling the gearshift lever fully to the left
through the detent, then forward. The detent force is high to prevent
inadvertently shifting into R (Reverse).
Parking your vehicle
1. Apply the brake and shift into the neutral position.
2. Fully apply the parking brake, then shift into 1 (First).
3. Turn the ignition off.
Do not park your vehicle in Neutral, it may move unexpectedly
and injure someone. Use 1 (First) gear and set the parking brake
fully.
DRIVING THROUGH WATER
Do not drive quickly through standing water, especially if the depth is
unknown. Traction or brake capability may be limited and if the ignition
system gets wet, your engine may stall. Water may also enter your
engine's air intake and severely damage your engine.
