uphill grade.
Doing so may damage the
clutch.
• When stopping the vehicle with the shift lever in a position other
than N, make sure to fully
depress the clutch pedal and
stop the vehicle using the
brakes.
●Do not shift the shift lever to R
without the vehicle completely
stopped.
Doing so may damage the
clutch, transmission and gears.
●Do not release the clutch pedal
too quickly. Doing so may dam-
age the transmission.
■When parking the vehicle
(vehicles with an automatic
transmission)
Always set the parking brake and

●Vehicles with an automatic
transmission: Do not race the
engine for more than 5 seconds
in any position except the N or P
position when the brake is
applied or when chocks are
used in the wheels. This may
cause the transmission fluid to
overheat.
