Manual Transmission

For stable operation of the manual
transmission, synchronizer systems
are equipped for all forward gears.
The manual transmission is equipped
with a lock device to prevent shifting
from 5th gear directly to Reverse
gear.
To shift gears, press the clutch pedal
fully down; to protect the clutch from
excessive wear, don't step on the
clutch pedal unless you want to shift
the gear.
You can shift to Reverse gear only
after the vehicle stops. When the
vehicle is still moving, shifting to
Reverse gear may damage the
transmission. After you step down on
the clutch pedal, please wait for a few
seconds and then shift to Reverse
gear; you can also shift to a forward
gear for a short moment and then shift
to Reverse gear. In this way the gears
will stop before shifting to reverse,
preventing the gears from "grinding"
each other.
In braking, you can get extra braking
force from the engine by downshift.
The engine braking force
maintain a safe speed, and prevent
the brake overheating while driving
downhill. Before downshifting, the
engine speed shown
tachometer must not enter the red
zone. Refer to the
allowable speed table below.
