MANUAL TRANSMISSION OPERATION
(IF EQUIPPED)

Using the clutch

Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission have a
starter interlock that prevents cranking the engine
unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed.

When starting a vehicle with a manual transmission,
you must:

1. Put gearshift in N
(Neutral).

2. Hold down brake
pedal.

3. Depress clutch
pedal.

4. Turn ignition to
position 5 (START) to
start the engine, let the
engine idle for a few
seconds, then shift into
gear.

5. Release the brake
pedal.

6. Release clutch slowly
while pressing down
slowly on the
accelerator pedal.

Do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch
pedal and do not use the clutch to hold your
vehicle at a standstill while waiting on a hill.
These actions will seriously reduce clutch life.
