FIRST (1). Then slowly let up on the clutch pedal as

you press the accelerator pedal.

You can shift into FIRST

(1)

when you’re going less

than

mph

(64

km/h).

If you’ve come to a complete

stop and it’s hard to shift into HRST

(I),

put the shift

lever in NEUTRAL (N) and let up on the clutch. Press

the

clutch pedal back down. Then shift into FIRST (1).

SECOND

the

clutch pedal as you let up on

the accelerator pedal and shift into

SECOND

slowly let up on the clutch pedal as you press the

accelerator pedal.

brake pedal. Just before the vehicle stops, press the

clutch pedal and the brake pedal, and shift to

NEUTRAL (N):

Use this position when you start or

idle your engine. Your shift lever is in NEUTRAL (N)

when it is centered in the shift pattern, not in any other

gear.

To back up, press down the clutch

pedal and shift into REVERSE (R). Just apply pressure

to get the lever past FIFTH

REVERSE

Let up on the clutch pedal slowly while

pressing the accelerator pedal.
