Manual Transmission Operation
5-Speed (MW3 Transmission with Low
Gear) (If Equipped)
Here's how to operate
your transmission:
FIRST (1) is intended only for heavy loads and is not
recommended for normal driving.
During the first 500 miles
(805
km) of vehicle use, start
your vehicle moving in FIRST (1). This allows clutch
components to break-in properly.
FIRST (1): Press the clutch pedal and shift into
FIRST (1). Then, slowly let up on the clutch pedal as
you press the accelerator pedal. Shift into FIRST (1)
only when the vehicle speed is below
5
mph (8 km/h).
If you try to shift down into FIRST (1) at excessive
vehicle speeds, the shift lever will not move into the
FIRST
(1)
position until vehicle speed is reduced.
SECOND (2):
Press the clutch pedal and shift into
SECOND (2). Then, slowly let up on the clutch pedal
as
you press the accelerator pedal.
You can shift into SECOND (2) when you're going less
than 20 mph (32 km/h). If you've come to a complete stop
and it's hard
to
shift into SECOND (2), put the shift lever
in NEUTRAL (N) and let up on the clutch. Press the
clutch pedal back down. Then shift into SECOND (2).
If you
try
to downshift into SECOND (2) at excessive
vehicle speeds, the shift lever will not move into the
SECOND (2) position until vehicle speed is reduced.
THIRD (3): Press the clutch pedal as you let up on
the accelerator pedal and shift into THIRD (3). Then,
slowly let up on
the
clutch pedal as you press the
accelerator pedal.
FOURTH (4) and FIFTH (5): Shift into the higher
forward gears the same way you do for THIRD (3).
Slowly let up on the clutch pedal as you press the
accelerator pedal.
