Isuzu N Series 2008 Owner's Manual page 213

ADVICE
• Shift into the gear appropriate for the vehicle speed. If an inappropriate gear
shift position is selected, a warning buzzer will sound and the shift will not occur.
• Driving using an inappropriate gear in the manual mode will result in a failure
of the transmission system. You are alerted to an inappropriate gear selection
by a warning buzzer and the transmission is automatically shifted down into an
appropriate gear.
• Strongly depressing the accelerator pedal immediately after shifting gears not
only prevents the vehicle from running smoothly but also causes a failure of the
transmission. Operate the accelerator pedal gradually.

To Shift Gears - Manual Mode
• When changing the gear in the
manual mode, place the gearshift
lever into the "M" position and move
the lever towards the "+ (upshift)" or
" – (downshift)" direction as necessary
to select the desired gear. Check that
the desired gear is displayed on the
shift indicator.
• The clutch is automatically
disengaged upon operation of the
gearshift lever. When the shift has
completed, the clutch is automatically
re-engaged. You can make both
upshifts and downshifts in a similar
manner.
• Gears are not automatically shifted
in the manual mode. To return to the
auto mode, place the gearshift lever
into the "D" position. Make sure that
"D" is displayed on the upper left of
the shift indicator.
