During cold weather, shifting may
be difficult until the transaxle lubri-
cant has warmed up. This is normal
and not harmful to the transaxle.
If you've come to a complete stop and it's hard to shift into 1 (First) or
R (Reverse), put the shift lever in
neutral position and release the
clutch. Press the clutch pedal back
down, and then shift into 1 (First)
or R (Reverse) gear position.CAUTION
To avoid premature clutch
wear and damage, do notdrive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal. Also, don’tuse the clutch to hold thevehicle stopped on an uphill grade, whilst waiting for a traf-fic light, etc.
Do not use the shift lever as a handrest during driving, asthis can result in premature wear of the transaxle shiftforks.
To prevent possible damage to the clutch system, do notstart with the 2nd (second) gear engaged except whenyou start on a slippery road.
Do not exceed the maximum weight limits of the loadingweight.
Improper loading can result indamage to clutch system.
WARNING
Before leaving the driver’s seat, always set the parking
brake fully and shut the
engine off. Then make sure thetransaxle is shifted into 1
(First) gear when the vehicle is
parked on a level or uphill
grade, and shifted into R
(Reverse) on a downhill grade.
Unexpected and sudden vehi-
cle movement can occur if
these precautions are not fol-
lowed in the order identified.
If your vehicle has a manual transaxle not equipped with a
ignition lock switch, it may
move and cause a serious
accident when starting theengine without depressing
the clutch pedal whilst theparking brake is released and
the shift lever not in the neu-tral position.
