06 09.29 Manual transmission The shift pattern is conventional as shown above. In case of driving your vehicle with 6−speed manual transmission, the buzzer will sound when you shift the gear into "R" (reverse). Press the clutch pedal down fully while shifting, and then release it slowly. Do not rest your foot on the pedal while driving, because it will cause clutch trouble. Do not use the clutch to hold the vehicle when stopped on an uphill grade-use the parking brake. Upshifting too soon or downshifting too late will cause lugging, and possibly pinging. Regularly revving the engine to maximum speed in each gear will cause excessive engine wear and high fuel consumption.
