Fully depress the clutch pedal before shifting gears. When releasing the clutch pedal, lightly depress the accelerator pedal.

Always use FIRST gear when starting from a standing stop.

NOTE:

Some transmission noise is normal. This noise may be most noticeable when the vehicle is idling in NEUTRAL with the clutch engaged (clutch pedal released), but it can also be heard while driving. The noise may also be more noticeable when the transmission is warm. This noise is normal and is not an indication of a clutch or transmission problem.
