change. Remove your foot from the clutch
pedal between gear changes. Follow the ap-
propriate shifting pattern.

highest gear possible as often as possible.
Reverse gear inhibitor
Only engage reverse gear when the car is
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 di-
rectly selected from 5th gear due to the re-
verse gear inhibitor.

pedal between gear changes. Follow the ap-
propriate shifting pattern.
