5 speed gearbox
Depress the clutch pedal, shift into gear and slowly release the pedal. Make sure that your foot does not remain on the clutch pedal while driving. The pedal is not a footrest. Do not depress the clutch pedal if you have to stop on a hill.
Downshifting at low engine speeds or upshifting at high engine speeds will cause engine overload and possibly detonation. Shifting gears at engine speeds close to maximum will cause rapid engine wear and reduce fuel efficiency.
Engage reverse gear (R) only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
6 speed gearbox
The positions of the gear lever are shown in the figure. The rules for using the gearbox are the same as for the 5-speed gearbox.
