Starting and driving
Manual gearbox
Gear positions, five-speed
Depress the clutch pedal fully with each gear
change. Remove your foot from the clutch
pedal between gear changes! Follow the
appropriate shifting pattern.
For the best possible fuel economy, use the
highest gear possible as often as possible.
Reverse gear inhibitor
Engage reverse gear when the car is com-
pletely stationary.
To put the car in reverse, the gear lever must
first be moved to neutral (between 3rd and
4th gear). Thus, reverse cannot be directly
selected from 5th gear due to the reverse
gear inhibitor.
Gear positions, six-speed
Depress the clutch pedal fully with each gear
change. Remove your foot from the clutch
pedal between gear changes! Follow the
appropriate shifting pattern.
For the best possible fuel economy, use the
highest gear possible as often as possible.
