TRANSMISSION SHIFTING
5-Speed Manual Overdrive Transmission
Follow the shift pattern on the gearshift knob.
NOTE: The backup lights will come on when your
vehicle is in reverse gear and the ignition is in the ON
position.
WARNING!
When parking your vehicle, always leave a manual
transmission in first gear and apply the parking
brake fully to guard against vehicle movement and
possible injury or damage. Never use any gear as a
substitute for the parking brake.
CAUTION!
To drive as safely as possible and to prolong the life
of your manual transmission, follow these tips:
• Before shifting from a forward gear into reverse, or
from reverse to a forward gear, stop vehicle com-
pletely. Otherwise, transmission damage may result.
• Do not operate at sustained high engine or road
speeds in lower gears. Engine damage may result.
