Good driving practice
D
If it is difficult to shift into reverse, put
the transmission in neutral, release the
clutch pedal momentarily, and then try
again.
D
When towing a trailer, in order to main-
tain engine braking efficiency, do not
use fifth gear (5- speed models) or
sixth gear (6- speed models).
CAUTION
Be careful when downshifting on a
slippery surface. Abrupt shifting
could cause the vehicle to skid or
spin.
NOTICE
z Do not use any gears other than
first gear when starting off and
moving forward. Doing so may dam-
age the clutch.
z Make sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before shifting into reverse.
