FIRST (1): This position gives you even more power

but lower fuel economy than SECOND (2). You can use

it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If the

shift lever is put in FIRST (1), the transmission will not

shift into ﬁrst gear until the vehicle is going slowly

enough.

Remember to move the shift lever back to DRIVE (D) so

that the transmission again upshifts into higher gears.

Even though the shift lever may be in FIRST (1),

the transmission does not select ﬁrst gear until vehicle

speed is less that 35 mph (56 km/h).

Manual Transmission Operation

This is the shift pattern for

the six-speed manual

transmission.

Here is how to operate your transmission:

FIRST (1): Press the clutch pedal and shift into

FIRST (1). Then slowly let up on the clutch pedal as

you press the accelerator pedal.

You can shift into FIRST (1) when you are going less

than 40 mph (64 km/h). If you come to a complete stop

and it is hard to shift into FIRST (1), put the shift

lever in NEUTRAL and let up on the clutch. Press the

clutch pedal back down. Then shift into FIRST (1).

SECOND (2): Press the clutch pedal as you let up on

the accelerator pedal and shift into SECOND (2).

Then, slowly let up on the clutch pedal as you press the

accelerator pedal.

THIRD (3), FOURTH (4), FIFTH (5) and

SIXTH (6): Shift into THIRD (3), FOURTH (4), FIFTH (5)

and SIXTH (6) the same way you do for SECOND (2).

Slowly let up on the clutch pedal as you press the

accelerator pedal.

To stop, let up on the accelerator pedal and press the

brake pedal. Just before the vehicle stops, press

the clutch pedal and the brake pedal, and shift to

NEUTRAL.
