CAUTION
-When downshifting from 5(Fifth) gear to 4 (Fourth) gear,caution should be taken not toinadvertently move the shift lev‐er sideways in such a mannerthat second gear is engaged.Such a drastic downshift maycause the engine speed to in‐crease to the point that thetachometer will enter the red-zone. Such over-revving of theengine may possibly cause en‐gine and transaxle damage.
-Do not downshift more than 2gears or downshift the gearwhen the engine is running athigh speed (5,000 RPM or high‐er). Such a downshifting maydamage the engine, clutch andthe transaxle.
-When shifting between 5th and6th gear, you should alwayspush the gear level all the wayto the right. You could otherwiseshift unintentionally into 3rd or4th gear and damage the trans‐axle.

• Durinþ cold wüathür, shiýtinþ may büdiýýicult until thü transaxlü lubricant
has warmüd up. This is normal and not harmýul to thü transaxlü.
• Iý you'vü comü to a complütü stop and it's hard to shiýt into 1 (First) or

CAUTION
•To avoid premature clutch wearand damage, do not drive withyour foot resting on the clutchpedal. Also, don’t use the clutch tohold the vehicle stopped on an up‐hill grade, while waiting for a traf‐fic light, etc.
•Do not use the shift lever as ahandrest during driving, as this canresult in premature wear of thetransaxle shift forks.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•To prevent possible damage to theclutch system, do not start withthe 2nd (second) gear engaged ex‐cept when you start on a slipperyroad.
•Do not exceed the maximumweight limits of the loadingweight. Improper loading can re‐sult in damage to clutch system.
WARNING
•Before leaving the driver’s seat, al‐ways set the parking brake fullyand shut the engine off. Thenmake sure the transaxle is shiftedinto 1 (First) gear when the vehicleis parked on a level or uphill grade,and shifted into R (Reverse) on adownhill grade.Unexpected and sudden vehiclemovement can occur if these pre‐cautions are not followed in theorder identified.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•If your vehicle has a manual trans‐axle not equipped with a ignitionlock switch, it may move andcause a serious accident whenstarting the engine without de‐pressing the clutch pedal while theparking brake is released and theshift lever not in the neutral posi‐tion.
•Do not use the engine brake (shift‐ing from a high gear to lower gear)rapidly on slippery roads.The vehicle may slip causing an ac‐cident.

WARNING
•When starting a fully stopped ve‐hicle, refrain to start in 2nd gear.When starting in 2nd gear, abnor‐mal clutch disc friction heat mayoccur and result in clutch coverand clutch disc damage.
•When the vehicle is in motion,please refrain from using halfclutch. The use of half clutch whilethe vehicle is in motion may resultin early clutch disc wear, abnormalvibration or noise.
•The clutch pedal should be de‐pressed fully for any operation.When letting go of the depressedpedal, make sure not to depressthe pedal again before the pedalgoes back to its initial position. Ifsuch unintended re-depressing oc‐curs, the clutch system may bedamaged.

Good driving practices
• Nü vür takü thü vühiclü out oý þüar

trümüly hazardous. Always lüavü thü vühiclü in þüar.
• Don't "ridü" thü braküs. This can causü thüm to ovürhüat and malýunc‐
tion. Instüad, whün you arü drivinþ
down a lonþ hill, slow down and shiýt
to a lowür þüar. Whün you do this, ünþinü brakinþ will hülp slow down

•Do not make quick steering wheelmovements, such as sharp lanechanges or fast, sharp turns.
•The risk of rollover is greatly in‐creased if you lose control of yourvehicle at highway speeds.
•Loss of control often occurs if twoor more wheels drop off the road‐way and the driver oversteers toreenter the roadway.
•In the event your vehicle leavesthe roadway, do not steer sharply.Instead, slow down before pullingback into the travel lanes.
