2. Press the clutch pedal to the

floor, then put the gearshift

lever in the neutral position.

3. Start the engine.
4. Press the brake pedal and move

the gearshift lever to the

desired gear; 1 (First) or R

(Reverse).

5. Release the parking brake, then slowly release the clutch pedal while

slowly pressing on the accelerator.

During each shift, the clutch pedal must be fully pressed to the floor.

Make sure the floor mat is properly positioned so it doesn’t interfere with

the full extension of the clutch pedal.

Failure to fully press the clutch pedal to the floor may cause

increased shift efforts, prematurely wear transmission

components or damage the transmission.
Do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal or use the

clutch pedal to hold your vehicle at a standstill while waiting on a

hill. These actions will severely reduce the life of the clutch and

could nullify a clutch warranty claim.

Recommended shift speeds

Upshift according to the following charts for best fuel economy:
