Manual Transmission Shift Pattern

5-speed transmission

6-speed transmission

Neutral position

Neutral position

The vehicle is equipped with either a 5-
speed or 6-speed manual transmission.
The shift pattern for each is shown above.

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

(5-speed transmission)

A safety feature prevents accidental
shifting from 5 to R (reverse). The shift
lever must be put in neutral before being
shifted to R.

(6-speed transmission)

Vehicles with 6-speed transmission are
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.

Be sure to 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.
