80ENGINE (IGNITION) SWITCH, TRANSMISSION AND PARKING BRAKE
“START”—Starter motor on. The key
will return to the “ON” position when
released.
For starting tips, see page 123 in Section
3.
“ON”—Engine on and all accessories
on. Before starting, glow plugs on and
engine preheated.
This is the normal driving position.
“ACC”—Accessories such as the radio
operate, but the engine is off.
“LOCK”—Engine is off and the steering
wheel is locked. The key can be re-
moved only at this position.
You must push in the key to turn the key
from “ACC” to the “LOCK” position.
When starting the engine, the key may
seem stuck at the “LOCK” position. To
free it, first be sure the key is pushed all
the way in, and then rock the steering
wheel slightly while turning the key gently.
It is not a malfunction if the needles on
all meters and gauges move slightly when
the engine switch is turned to the “ACC”,
“ON” or “START” position.
CAUTION
Never remove the key when the ve-
hicle is moving, as this will lock the
steering wheel and result in loss of
steering control.
NOTICE
Do not leave the engine switch in the
“ON” position if the engine is not
running. The battery will discharge.

ENGINE (IGNITION) SWITCH, TRANSMISSION AND PARKING BRAKE81
The shift pattern is conventional as
shown above.
On some models, the buzzer will sound
when you shift the gear into “R” (reverse).
Press the clutch pedal down fully while
shifting, and then release it slowly. Do not
rest your foot on the pedal while driving,
because it will cause clutch trouble. Do
not use the clutch to hold the vehicle
when stopped on an uphill grade—use the
parking brake.
Upshifting too soon or downshifting too
late will cause lugging, and possibly ping-
ing. Regularly revving the engine to maxi-
mum speed in each gear will cause ex-
cessive engine wear and high fuel
consumption.
Maximum allowable speeds
To get on a highway or to pass slower
traffic, maximum acceleration may be nec-
essary. Make sure you observe the follow-
ing maximum allowable speeds in each
gear:
Dyna 100
gear km/h (mph)
1 28 (17)
2 53 (33)
3 90 (56)
4 127 (79)Dyna 150
gear km/h (mph)
1 28 (17)
2 52 (32)
3 84 (52)
4 121 (75)
NOTICE
Do not downshift if you are going
faster than the maximum allowable
speed for the next lower gear.
: See “Model code” on page vi in the
beginning of this manual if you are not
sure of your vehicle model.
Good driving practice
DIf it is difficult to shift into reverse, put
the transmission in neutral, release the
clutch pedal momentarily, and then try
again.
DWhen towing a trailer, in order to main-
tain engine braking efficiency, do not
use fifth gear.
CAUTION
Be careful when downshifting on a
slippery surface. Abrupt shifting
could cause the vehicle to skid or
spin.
NOTICE
zDo not use any gears other than
first gear when starting off and
moving forward. Doing so may dam-
age the clutch.
zMake sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before shifting into reverse.

82ENGINE (IGNITION) SWITCH, TRANSMISSION AND PARKING BRAKE
When parking, firmly apply the parking
brake to avoid inadvertent creeping.
To set: Pull up the lever. For better hold-
ing power, first depress the brake pedal
and hold it while setting the parking
brake.
To release: Pull up the lever slightly (1),
press the lock release button (2), and low-
er (3).
To remind you that the parking brake is
set, the parking brake reminder light in
the instrument panel remains on until you
release the parking brake.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure the parking
brake is fully released and the park-
ing brake reminder light is off.
