Manual Transmission Shifting Instructions - PERODUA ALZA Owner's Manual

Starting procedure
The electronic fuel injection system
automatically controls the proper air-fuel
mixture for starting.
1. Depress the clutch pedal fully and hold
it in that position until the engine starts
(manual transmission).
2. Shift the transmission lever to neutral
(manual transmission) or to H or G
range (automatic transmission).
3. Turn the ignition key to "ON". Ensure the
warning lights go on.
4. With your foot off the accelerator pedal,
turn the ignition key to "START" and
release.
5. Check that warning lights except parking
brake warning light or brake warning light
go out.
Precautions for automatic transmission-
equipped vehicle
For the automatic transmission-equipped
vehicle, special care should be exercised
to the following points.
• Apply the parking brake and shift the
transmission lever to the H range before
starting the engine.
• The engine can also be started in the G
range, but it is advisable to start the engine
in the H range.
• For safety reasons, the shifting mechanism
is so constructed that the engine cannot
be started with the transmission lever
shifted to the I, E, M or L range.
• If the engine is stalled while the vehicle
is moving, restart it with the transmission
in the G range.
• The engine cannot be started by
pushing or towing the vehicle.
• Shift the transmission only when the
engine is idling. The vehicle may move
suddenly if the transmission is shifted
to the I, E, M or L range during high
engine speed.
• Shift the transmission from the H or G
range to other ranges with the brake pedal
firmly depressed; otherwise the vehicle
may move suddenly.
Manual transmission shifting
instructions
The shift pattern is shown above.
Depress the clutch pedal fully when shifting.
If the gear will not shift easily, release and
depress the clutch pedal and try again.
The transmission is so designed that the shift
lever cannot be shifted from the 5th gear to
the reverse gear directly. To shift from the 5th
gear to the reverse gear, first return the shift
lever to neutral, and then to the reverse gear
after the vehicle has completely stopped.
