When Driving
Manual Transaxle Operation
Manual Transaxle Shift
Pattern

Neutral position

The shift pattern of the transaxle is
conventional, as shown.

Depress the clutch pedal all the way down
while shifting; then release it slowly.

Your vehicle is equipped with a device to
prevent shifting to R (reverse) by mistake.
Push the shift lever downward and shift
to R.



WARNING
Do not use sudden engine braking on
slippery road surfaces or at high speeds: Shifting down while driving on wet,
snowy, or frozen roads, or while driving
at high speeds causes sudden engine
braking, which is dangerous. The
sudden change in tire speed could
cause the tires to skid. This could
lead to loss of vehicle control and an
accident.

Always leave the shift lever in 1 or R
position and set the parking brake when
leaving the vehicle unattended: Otherwise the vehicle could move and
cause an accident.

CAUTION
 Keep your foot off the clutch pedal except when shifting gears. Also, do not
use the clutch to hold the vehicle on an
upgrade. Riding the clutch will cause
needless clutch wear and damage.
 Do not apply any excessive lateral force to the shift lever when changing from
5th to 4th gear. This could lead to the
accidental selection of 2nd gear, which
could result in damage to the transaxle.
 Make sure the vehicle comes to a complete stop before shifting to R.
Shifting to R while the vehicle is still
moving may damage the transaxle.

NOTE
If shifting to R is dif fi cult, shift back into
neutral, release the clutch pedal, and try
again.

Manual Transaxle Operation
Gear Shift Indicator (GSI)
The Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) supports
you to obtain optimum fuel economy and
smooth driving. It displays the selected
gear position in the instrument cluster as
well as notifi es the driver to change to the
most suitable gear position corresponding
to the actual driving condition.


Selected gear position Suitable gear position

Indication Condition
Numeral The selected gear position is
displayed.

and numeral Shift up or down to the indicated
gear position is recommended.

CAUTION
Do not rely solely on the shift-up/
shift-down recommendations by
indications. The actual driving
situation might require shift operations
diff erent from indication. To avoid the
risk of accidents, the road and traffi
c
conditions have to be judged correctly
by the driver before shifting.

NOTE
The Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) turns
off when the following operations are
performed.
   The vehicle is stopped.  The vehicle is put in neutral.  The vehicle is driven in reverse.  The clutch is not fully engaged when
accelerating from a stop.
  The clutch pedal remains depressed for
2 seconds or longer while driving.
