WARNING!
You or others could be injured if you leave the
vehicle unattended without having the parking
brake fully applied. The parking brake should al-
ways be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle,
especially on an incline.
Fully depress the clutch pedal before you shift gears. As
you release the clutch pedal, lightly depress the accelera-
tor pedal.
Shift Pattern
Use each gear in numerical order - do not skip a gear. Be
sure the shift lever is in 1st gear, (not 3rd gear), when
starting from a standing position. Damage to the clutch
can result from starting in 3rd.
