Be sure the transmission is in FIRST gear when moving

forward from a standing position.

CAUTION!

Failure to start out in FIRST gear when moving

forward from a starting position may result in dam-

age to the clutch.

You will find it easier to use only the lower gears for most

city driving. For steady highway driving with light

accelerations, 6th gear is recommended.

Never drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal, or

try to hold the vehicle on a hill with the clutch pedal

partially engaged. This will cause abnormal wear on the

clutch.

Never shift into REVERSE until the vehicle has come to a

complete stop.

NOTE:

•

Your vehicle is equipped with a transmission reverse

inhibitor system. When vehicle speed is greater than 5

mph (8 km/h), the reverse inhibitor activates to help

prevent shifts into reverse. When at a complete stop,

you may notice light shift efforts into reverse with the

ignition key on, and increased shift efforts into reverse

with the ignition key off. This is normal operation of

the transmission reverse inhibitor system.

•

Shifting gears during cold weather may require an

increased effort until the transmission lubricant is

warm. This is normal and not harmful to the transmis-

sion.

•

Due to thehigh performancenature ofyour drivetrain,

a certain amount of noise from the transmission is

normal. This noise can be most noticeable when the

vehicle is idling in neutral with the clutch engaged

(clutch pedal released), but it may also be heard when
