Driving your vehicle
Such over-revving of the engine and
transmission may possibly cause
engine damage.
僅 Do not downshift more than 2 gears
or downshift the gear when the
engine is running at high speed
(5,000 rpm or higher). Such down-
shifting may damage the engine,
clutch and the transmission.
僅 To avoid premature clutch wear and
damage, do not drive with your foot
resting on the clutch pedal. Also, don't
use the clutch to hold the vehicle
stopped on an uphill grade, whilst
waiting for a traffic light, etc.
僅 Do not use the shift lever as a han-
drest during driving, as this can result
in premature wear of the transmission
shift forks.
僅 To prevent possible damage to the
clutch system, do not start with the
2nd gear engaged except when you
start on a slippery road.
僅 When operating the clutch pedal,
press the clutch pedal down fully. If
you don't press the clutch pedal fully,
the clutch may be damaged or noise
may occur.
