FIRST GEAR (1)
-
This position gives you even more power (but
lower fuel economy) than SECOND GEAR (2). You can use it on very
steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If the selector lever is put in FIRST
GEAR (1) while the vehicle is moving forward, the transmission won't
shift into FIRST GEAR (1) until the vehicle is going slowly enough.
NOTICE:
If your rear wheels can't rotate, don't try to drive. This might
happen if you were stuck in very deep sand or mud or
were
up
against a solid object. You could damage your transmission.
Also, if you stop when going uphill, don't hold your vehicle there
with only the accelerator pedal. This could overheat and damage
the transmission. Use your brakes
or
shift into PARK
(P)
to hold
your vehicle in position on
a
hill.
Five-Speed Manual Transmission
~
This is your shift
pattern. Here's how to
operate your
transmission:
FIRST GEAR (1) - Press the clutch pedal and shift into FIRST GEAR (1).
Then, slowly let up on
the
clutch pedal as you press the accelerator pedal.
You can shift into FIRST GEAR (1) when you're going less than 20 mph
(32 kmh). If you've come to a complete stop and it's hard to shift into
FIRST GEAR ( I
),
put the shift lever in NEUTRAL (N) and let up on the
clutch. Press the clutch pedal back down. Then shift into FIRST GEAR (1).
