uuWhen Driving uShifting
Driving
Shifting
Fully depress the clutch pedal to operate the shift lever and change gears, then
slowly release the pedal.
Depress the clutch pedal, and pause for a few seconds before shifting into
(R, or
shift into one of the forward gears for a moment. This stops the gears so they do not
“grind.” When you are not shifting, do not rest your
foot on the clutch pedal. This can cause your
clutch to wear out faster.
■Shift Lever Operation
Manual transmission models
1Shifting
NOTICE
Do not shift to (R before the vehicle comes to a
complete stop.
Shifting to
( R before stopping can damage the
transmission.
Recommended Shift Points
Driving in the highest gear that allows the engine to
run and accelerate smoothly helps to optimize fuel
economy and effective emissions control. The
following shift points are recommended:
If you exceed the maximum speed for the gear you
are in, the engine speed will enter into the
tachometer's red zone. When this happens, you may
experience a slight jolt.
NOTICE
Before downshifting, make su re the engine will not go
into the tachometer's red zone. Should this occur, it
can severely damage your engine.
There is a metallic part on th e shift lever. If you leave the
vehicle parked outside for a long time on a hot day, be
careful before moving the shift lever. Because of heat,
the shift lever may be extr emely hot. If the outside
temperature is low, the sh ift lever may feel cold.
