MANUAL TRANSAXLE (IF EQUIPPED)
E050100AMG
Manual transaxle operation
The manual transaxle has
5 forward
gears.
This shift pattern is imprinted on the shift
knob. The transaxle is fully synchronized
in all forward gears so shifting to either a
higher or a lower gear is easily accom-
plished.
Press the clutch pedal down fully while
shifting, then release it slowly.
The gearshift lever must be returned to
the neutral position before shifting into R
(Reverse). The ring located immediately
below the shift knob must be pulled
upward while moving the shift lever to the
R position.
Make sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before shifting into R (Reverse).
Never operate the engine with the
tachometer (rpm) in the red zone.
The shift lever can be moved without pulling the ring (1).
The ring (1) must be pulled up while moving the shift lever.

To move the shift lever from the P (Park)
position, the brake pedal must be
depressed with the ignition switch ON.
