Manual Transmission - Toyota Yaris Owner's Manual

Manual transmission

QS17002
The shift pattern is as shown above.
Press the clutch pedal down fully while
shifting, and then release it slowly. Do not
rest your foot on the pedal while driving,
because it will cause clutch trouble. Do
not use the clutch to hold the vehicle
when stopped on an uphill grade—use the
parking brake.

Recommended shifting speeds
The transmission is fully synchronized and
upshifting or downshifting is easy.
For the best compromise between fuel
economy and vehicle performance, you
should upshift or downshift at approxi-
mately the following speeds:
2NZ−FE and 1NZ−FE engines
Upshifting
gear km/h (mph)
1 to 2 24 (15)
2 to 3 40 (25)
3 to 4 65 (40)
4 to 5 72 (45)
Downshifting
gear km/h (mph)
2 to 1 20 (12)
3 to 2 30 (18)
4 to 3 40 (25)
5 to 4 50 (31)
Upshifting too soon or downshifting too
late will cause lugging, and possibly ping-
ing. Regularly revving the engine to maxi-
mum speed in each gear will cause ex-
cessive engine wear and
consumption.
Maximum allowable speeds
To get on a highway or to pass slower
traffic, maximum acceleration may be nec-
essary. Make sure you observe the follow-
ing maximum allowable speeds in each
gear:
2NZ−FE engine
gear
1
2
3
4
1NZ−FE engine
gear
1
2
3
4
Do not downshift if you are going
faster than the maximum allowable
speed for the next lower gear.
