Manual transmission 
Completely depress the clutch pedal 
each time you shift, pressing the 
manual-shift gear lever into its respec-
tive end position.
Also depress the clutch when starting 
the vehicle, as otherwise lockout will 
prevent the engine from starting.
The shift lever's neutral plane (dot in the 
illustration) is located between 3rd and 
4th gears.
When shifting from each gear into 
"Neutral," the shift lever returns auto-
matically to this gear plane because 
of its spring loading.

Reverse 
Select "Reverse" only when the vehicle 
is stationary. Press the shift lever to the 
left to overcome the resistance.
As you do this, the backup lamps will 
turn on automatically when the ignition 
key is in position 2.
Do not hold the vehicle in place on 
slopes by slipping or "riding" the 
clutch. Use the parking brake instead. 
Otherwise, riding the clutch will cause 
heavy wear and tear to the clutch.
