Precautions while driving
• Do not rest your hand on the gear lever while driving - pressure
from your hand may cause premature wear to the gear selector
mechanism.
• Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal when driving -
excessive wear to the clutch will result.
• Do not hold the car stationary on a hill by slipping the clutch.
This will wear out the clutch. Always use the handbrake.
