nism is so constructed that the engine
can not be started with the transmission
lever shifted to the®,@,® or@range.
If the engine is stalled while the vehicle is
moving, restart it with the transmission in
.
the@ range.
The engine can not be started by push­

shifting instructions
The shift pattern is shown above.
Depress the clutch pedal fully when shifting.
If the gear will not be shifted easily, release
and depress the clutch pedal and try again.
The transmission is so designed that the shift
lever can not 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.
CAUTION
Shift into the reverse gear after the vehicle
has been stopped completely; otherwise,
the transmission may be damaged.
When you drive on steep hills, downshift for
engine braking depending on road condi­
tions or vehicle speed.
