[. . . ] Do not rock the vehicle if the engine is not at normal operating temperature or damage to the transmission may occur. Do not rock the vehicle for more than a minute or damage to the transmission and tires may occur, or the engine may overheat. 96 Driving MANUAL TRANSMISSION OPERATION (IF EQUIPPED) 1 2 3 4 5 R Using the clutch The manual transaxle has a starter interlock that prevents cranking the engine unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed. Press the clutch pedal to the floor, then put the gearshift lever in the neutral position. Start the engine, then press the brake pedal and release the parking brake. Move the gearshift lever to the desired gear, then slowly release the clutch pedal while slowly pressing on the accelerator. Do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal or use the clutch pedal to hold your vehicle at a standstill while waiting on a hill. Do not park your vehicle in Neutral, it may move unexpectedly and injure someone. Use 1 (First) gear and set the parking brake fully. 97 Driving Recommended shift speeds Upshift according to the following charts for best fuel economy: Upshifts when accelerating (recommended for best fuel economy) 1-2 21 km/h (13 mph) 2-3 40 km/h (25 mph) 3-4 53 km/h (33 mph) 4-5 70 km/h (44 mph) Upshifts when cruising (recommended for best fuel economy) 1-2 18 km/h (11 mph) 2-3 32 km/h (20 mph) 3-4 46 km/h (29 mph) 4-5 61 km/h (38 mph) Reverse 1. Make sure that your vehicle is at a complete stop before you shift into R (Reverse). Move the gearshift lever into the neutral position and wait at least three seconds before shifting into R (Reverse). · The gearshift lever can only be moved into R (Reverse) by moving it from left of 3 (Third) and 4 (Fourth) before shifting into R (Reverse). This is a lockout feature that protects the transaxle from accidentally being shifted into R (Reverse) from 5 (Overdrive). DRIVING THROUGH WATER Do not drive quickly through standing water, especially if the depth is unknown. Traction or brake capability may be limited and if the ignition system gets wet, your engine may stall. Water may also enter your engine's air intake and severely damage your engine. If driving through deep or standing water is unavoidable, proceed very slowly. Never drive through water that is higher than the bottom of the hubs (for trucks) or the bottom of the wheel rims (for cars). Drying can be improved by moving your vehicle slowly while applying light pressure on the brake pedal. Driving through deep water where the transmission vent tube is submerged may allow water into the transmission and cause internal transmission damage. 98 Driving VEHICLE LOADING Before loading a vehicle, familiarize yourself with the following terms: · Base Curb Weight: Weight of the vehicle including any standard equipment, fluids, lubricants, etc. · Payload: Combined maximum allowable weight of cargo, occupants and optional equipment.
