This
is
your shift pattern.
Here’s how to operate
your transmission:

FIRST
(1):
Press the clutch pedal and shift into
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
20
mph
(30
kmh).
If
you’ve come to a complete
stop and it’s hard to shift into FIRST (l), 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 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),
FIFTH
(5)
AND
SIXTH
(6):
Shift into THIRD
(3),
FOURTH
(4),
FIFTH
(5)
AND SIXTH
(6)
gear the same way you
do
for SECOND
(2).
Slowly let up on the clutch pedal 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. If you
shift from SIXTH
(6)
into REVERSE (R), the shift lever
must be first placed in the NEUTRAL
(N)
position
centered between SECOND
(2)
and THIRD
(3)
prior to
shifting into REVERSE
(R).
Your six-speed manual transmission has a feature that
allows you to safely shift into REVERSE
(R)
while the
vehicle is rolling (at less than
5
mph
(8
km/h).
If you have turned your ignition off and want to park
your car
in
REVERSE (R), you will have to move the
shift lever quickly to the right, then forward into gear.
