Owner's Manual

For most city driving you will find it easier to use only

the lower gears. For steady highway driving with light

accelerations, 5th 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: During cold weather, until the transaxle lubri-

cant is warm, you may experience slightly higher shift

efforts. This is normal and not harmful to the transaxle.

THIRD and FOURTH gear. This is the position the shifter

lever will return to automatically when neutral is se-

lected. When shifting into FIFTH gear, be sure to press
