Driving a car with a manual transmission (Mazda BT-50 (1))

The gear shift pattern is shown in the figure. The pattern is also shown on the lever handle. Always fully depress the clutch pedal before shifting gears.

Attention:

• Do not engage reverse gear when the vehicle is moving forward: this will damage the gearbox.
• Do not leave your foot on the clutch pedal while driving, as this will cause premature wear or damage to the clutch.
• Do not keep your hand on the gear shift lever while driving, as this will cause premature wear or damage to the gear shift mechanism.
• Do not exceed 40 km/h when in first gear, as this will damage the gearbox.
• If engaging first gear is difficult, press the clutch pedal again; after this, engaging the gear will be easier.
• To engage reverse gear, move the gearshift lever to neutral position "N", wait 3 seconds, and then engage reverse gear "R".
