Kick down mechanism (if equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with a
kick down mechanism in the
accelerator pedal, it prevents you
from driving at full throttle unin-
tentionally by making the driver
require increased effort todepress the accelerator pedal.
However, if you depress the pedal
more than approximately 80%, the
vehicle can be at full throttle andthe accelerator pedal will be easi-
er to depress. This is not a mal-
function but a normal condition.To start the diesel engine when theengine is cold, it has to be pre-heat-
ed before starting the engine and
then have to be warmed up before
starting to drive.
1. Make sure the parking brake is
applied.
2. Depress the clutch pedal fully and shift the transmission into Neutral.
Keep the clutch pedal and brake
pedal depressed while turning the
ignition switch to the start position.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ONposition to pre-heat the engine.
Then the glow indicator light will
illuminate.
4. If the glow indicator light goes out, turn the ignition switch to the
START position and hold it there
until the engine starts (a maximumof 10 seconds), then release the
key.

If the engine were not started within 10 seconds after the pre-
heating is completed, turn the
ignition key once more to theLOCK position during 10 seconds,
and then to the ON position, in
order to preheat again.
Starting and stopping the engine
for turbocharger intercooler
1. Do not race or accelerate the
engine immediately after starting.
If the engine is cold, idle for sever-
al seconds before sufficient lubri-cation is ensured in the tur-bocharger unit.
2. After high speed or extended driv- ing, requiring a heavy engine load,
idle the engine about 1 minute
before turning it off.
This idle time will allow the tur-bocharger to cool prior to shutting
the engine off. Your vehicle may be equipped withthe ISG system, which reduces fuel
consumption by automatically shut-
ting down the engine, when the vehi-
cle is at a standstill. (For example :
red light, stop sign and traffic jam)
The engine starts automatically as
soon as the starting conditions aremet.
The ISG system is ON whenever the
engine is running.
When the engine automatically
starts by the ISG system, some
warning lights (ABS, VDC, VDC
OFF, EBD) may turn on for a fewseconds.
This happens because of low bat-
tery voltage. It does not mean thesystem is malfunctioning.
NOTICE
NOTICE
Driving your vehicle
Do not turn the engine off
immediately after it has been
subjected to a heavy load.
Doing so may cause severe
damage to the engine or turbo
charger unit.

Manual transmission opera- tion
The manual transmission has 6 for-
ward gears.
This shift pattern is imprinted on the
shift knob. The transmission is fully
synchronized in all forward gears so
shifting to either a higher or a lowergear is easily accomplished.
Press the clutch pedal down fully
while shifting, then release it slowly.If your vehicle is equipped with an
ignition lock system, the engine will
not start when starting the enginewithout depressing the clutch pedal.
The gearshift lever must be returned
to the neutral position before shifting
into R (Reverse). The ring located
immediately below the shift knob
must be pulled upward while moving
the shift lever to the R position. (TypeA)
Make sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before shifting into R(Reverse).
Never operate the engine with thetachometer (rpm) in the red zone.
MM AANN UU AALL TT RR AA NN SSMM IISS SSIIOO NN (( IIFF EE QQ UUIIPP PPEEDD ))
OEU054001
The ring (1) must be pulled up while
moving the shift lever.
The shift lever can be moved without
pulling the ring (1).
When downshifting from fifth
gear to fourth gear, cautionshould be taken not to inad-
vertently press the gear shift
lever sideways in such a man-
ner that second gear is
engaged. Such a drastic
downshift may cause theengine speed to increase to
the point that the tachometer
will enter the red-zone. Such
over-revving of the engine
may possibly cause engine
damage.
When upshifting from fifth
gear to sixth gear, cautionshould be taken not to inad-
vertently press the gear shift
lever sideways in such a man-
ner that fourth gear is
engaged. Such a drastic
downshift may cause theengine speed to increase to
the point that the tachometer
will enter the red-zone.

Driving your vehicle
5 During cold weather, shifting maybe difficult until the transmission
lubricant has warmed up. This is
normal and not harmful to the
transmission.
If you've come to a complete stop and it's hard to shift into 1st or R
(Reverse), put the shift lever in N
(Neutral) position and release the
clutch. Press the clutch pedal back
down, and then shift into 1st or R
(Reverse) gear position.
To avoid premature clutch
wear and damage, do not
drive with your foot resting on
the clutch pedal. Also, don’t
use the clutch to hold the
vehicle stopped on an uphill
grade, while waiting for a traf-
fic light, etc.
Do not use the shift lever as a
handrest during driving, asthis can result in prematurewear of the transmission shift
forks.
When operating the clutch
pedal, press the clutch pedal
down fully. If you don’t press
the clutch pedal fully, the
clutch may be damaged or
noise may occur.
To prevent possible damage
to the clutch system, do not
start with the 2nd (second)
gear engaged except when
you start on a slippery road.
CAUTION
Before leaving the driver’s
seat, always set the parking
brake fully and shut the
engine off. Then make surethe transmission is shifted
into 1st gear when the vehicle
is parked on a level or uphill
grade, and shifted into R
(Reverse) on a downhill
grade. Unexpected and sud-
den vehicle movement canoccur if these precautions are
not followed in the order iden-tified.
If your vehicle has a manual transmission not equipped
with an ignition lock switch, it
may move and cause a seri-
ous accident when startingthe engine without depress-
ing the clutch pedal while theparking brake is released and
the shift lever not in theN(Neutral) position.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)Such over-revving of the
engine may possibly cause
engine damage.
Do not downshift more than 2
gears or downshift the gearwhen the engine is running athigh speed (5,000 RPM or
higher). Such a downshifting
may damage the engine,
clutch and the transmission.
