Manual Transmission
Up-Shift Light
Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission may have an up-shift light. This light indicates when to shift to the next higher gear for better fuel economy.
For the best fuel economy, accelerate slowly and shift when the light comes on, if weather, road, and traffic conditions allow.
It is normal for the light to go on and off if the accelerator position changes quickly. Ignore the light during downshifts.
Reverse Lockout
The manual transmission is equipped with a reverse lockout ring. To shift into R (Reverse), press down the clutch pedal, lift up the ring on the shift lever, and shift into R (Reverse). Let up on the clutch pedal slowly while pressing the accelerator pedal.
See Manual Transmission.
