Manual transmission shifting
instructions
The shift pattern is shown above.
Depress the clutch pedal fully when shift­
ing. 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 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 com­
pletely stopped.

tions or vehicle speed.

pery, or wet roads. Failure to do so
could cause wheel lock or skid, and a
