smart as a rental car - smooth shifting instructions

[brycenesbitt]

We have just placed smart cars into service in a rental situation (Car Sharing). How can we best instruct drivers on smooth shifting techniques? These people will not have a lot of seat time in the vehicles to get used to the shifting. Our vehicles are the USA Passion Model (Yellow with Black Cell).

Just tell them to lift when they feel a shift happening if they want a smoother shift
