CAUTIONS

Downshift
On long downhill stretches, downshift in good time and op-
erate the engine brake to make use of the engine braking
effect.
Parking
When parking the vehicle, ensure the parking brake is fully
applied before stopping the engine.
When parking on a downhill gradient, place the gearshift le-
ver in "R" position. When parking on a uphill gradient, place
the gearshift lever in "1st" position.
Pedals in manual transmission equipped vehicle
1. Parking brake pedal
2. Clutch pedal
3. Foot brake pedal
4. Accelerator pedal
CAUTIONS
• Stop the vehicle completely before shifting into reverse.
• Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving.
The clutch disc will wear prematurely.
• Do not downshift by skipping gears or while the engine
is running in high speed. The clutch or transmission
could be damaged.
• Make sure that the engine rpm will not go over the red
zone in tachometer. Especially, when downshifting from
5th gear into 4th gear, the 2nd gear can be abruptly en-
gaged due to driver's carelessness. This should cause
a very sharp increase of engine rpm and results in a
severe damage to engine and transmission.
• Do not rest your hand on the gearshift lever while driving.
This may cause an unexpected gear change and result
in a transmission damage.
• In cold weather, gearshifting may not be easy until the
transmission oil is heated. However, it is not malfunc-
tion but normal.
