Information on the operation of a 5-speed manual transmission, including shift speeds for optimal vehicle performance and fuel economy, driving tips for proper shifting techniques, and instructions for engaging 4wd. The document also includes a shift speed chart and details on using the 4wd-2wd switch and transfer control lever.

Don't miss anything!
The transmission has five fully synchronized forward speeds. The gear shift pattern is provided on the transmission lever knob. The backup lights turn on when shifted into the reverse gear.
Always depress and release the clutch pedal fully when shifting.
Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving; this can cause the clutch to slip, resulting in damage to the clutch.
When you are stopped on an upgrade, do not hold the vehicle in place by letting the clutch pedal up part-way. Use the foot brake or the parking brake.
Never shift into reverse gear until the vehicle is completely stopped.
Do not “over-speed” the engine when shifting down to a lower gear.
The shift lever cannot be shifted directly from fifth gear into Reverse. When shifting into Reverse gear from fifth gear, depress the clutch pedal and shift completely into Neutral position, then shift into Reverse gear.

The lower gears of the transmission are used for normal acceleration of the vehicle to the desired cruising speed. The highest gear of the transmission is used to maintain the desired speed. The fifth gear is recommended for use in maintaining highway cruising speeds. Use of the fifth gear in city traffic is not recommended. The shift speed chart shows the speeds at which each upshift of the transmission should be made to get the best vehicle performance and fuel economy.
For cruising, choose the highest gear for that speed (cruising speed is defined as a relatively constant speed operation). The upshift indicator (U/S ) lights to show recommended upshift points. (Refer to “Indicator Lights.”) If the engine is “lugging” (the speed you are traveling at is too slow for the gear the transmission is in), downshift to the next lower gear. You may need to downshift two or more gear positions to keep the engine from “lugging” or to keep the performance at a satisfactory level.
4WD Models The “4WD” indicator light illuminates when 4WD is engaged with the 4WD-2WD switch.
“2H” (High Range, 2-Wheel Drive) Use this for normal driving on dry pavement. This position gives greater economy, quieter ride and least drivetrain wear.
