THIRD (3): Press the clutch pedal and upshift into THIRD (3). Then, slowly let up on the clutch pedal as you press the accelerator pedal. FOURTH (4), FIFTH (5), SIXTH (6): Shift into FOURTH (4) and FIFTH (5) and SIXTH (6) the same way you do for THIRD (3). 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. Neutral: Use this position when you start or idle your engine. REVERSE (R): To back up, press down on the clutch pedal and shift into REVERSE (R). Let up on the clutch pedal slowly while pressing the accelerator pedal. NOTICE: Shift to REVERSE (R) only after your vehicle is stopped.

There is an audible beep when the vehicle is in REVERSE (R) to ensure that FIRST (1) gear and REVERSE (R) are not confused. 2-27
