This is your shift pattern.
Here’s how to operate
your transmission:
FIRST
(1):
Press the clutch and shift into FIRST
(1).
Then, slowly let up on the clutch pedal as you press the
accelerator pedal.
You can shift into
FIRST
(I)
when you’re going less
than
20
mph
(32
km/h).
If you’ve come to a complete
stop and it’s hard to shift into FIRST
(1),
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
(2):
Press the clutch pedal to the floor as
you let up on the accelerator pedal and shift into
SECOND
(2).
Then, slowly
let
up on the clutch pedal
as you press the accelerator pedal.
THIRD
(3),
FOURTH
(4)
AND
FIFTH

Shift into
THIRD
(3),
FOURTH

and
FIFTH (5)
the same way
you do for
SECOND

Slowly let up on the clutch as
you press the accelerator pedal.
To stop,
let
up on the accelerator pedal and press the
brake pedal. Just before the vehicle stops, press the clutch
pedal and brake pedal, and shift to NEUTRAL
(N).
NEUTRAL
(N):
Use this position when
you
start or
idle your engine.
REVERSE (R):
To
back up, press down the clutch
pedal and shift into
REVERSE
(R). Let up on the clutch
pedal slowly while pressing the accelerator pedal.
NOTICE:

stopped.
Shifting
to
REVERSE
(R)
while
your
vehicle
is
moving
could
damage
your transmission.

Also use REVERSE
(R),
along with the parking brake,
for parking your vehicle.
