■To prevent damage to the vehicle
When shifting gears, observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may
cause damage to the engine, manual transmission, and/or clutch.
- Do not shift the shift lever to R without depressing the clutch pedal.

- Do not lift up the ring section except when shifting the lever to R.
- Shift the shift lever to R only when the vehicle is stationary.
- Do not rest your hand on or hold the shift lever any time other than

- In order to not cause the engine to overrev, make sure to only shift
gears sequentially.
- Do not release the clutch pedal suddenly.

M position. Gear steps can then be selected by operating the shift lever or paddle
shift switches, allowing you to drive in the gear step of your choosing...
The iMT optimally controls the engine speed to suit the driver’s operation of
the clutch pedal and shift lever, helping the driver to shift gears more smoothly...
